Now you've done it. You're gonna start people redebating the slavery issue here too. Wait, that means that I've done it too by responding. Gosh darn it to heck. Shoot. I'm buzzard bait. They're gonna send me back to Omaha and I don't even live there.

Thanks Ed. I've only been aboard since July, but I really enjoy the topic, the board and every member. It's a great place to discuss pretty much anything.

Bart- yes that's some impressive posting . I've been here for years and was delighted when i made sergeant last year i think it was. You are quickly gaining on me! As a rule I stay out of these 'The South Sucks!!!' 'The North Stinks!!!' debates, which tend to help run up post counts. They do get to be highly entertaining though.
