I'm pretty sure that those of us from Texas will live up to what the name Texas means: friendly.

I thought Texas meant "everything is bigger?"

While we're at it, can we get Bill Torrens to type in American font instead of that English font he's been using?

Ref: Post #32

Actually, I believe was the Old Spanish word "tejas" that Texas is derived from.

Now it means "everything is big."

I Think MobileBoy got it right when he suggested we try to make our posts more 'conversational' rather than confrontational.

Also I've noticed that we have some young folks aboard, and hopefully more will join, who want to learn about the CW.

We might keep that in mind and resist the impulse to rant or reply in a disrespectful manner.

Sam,
I'll certainly agree to that, my guns are stacked and unloaded. My style of jumping right in to things may have inflamed passions and caused harsh or misunderstood posts as well, for which I apologize as that was not my intent. Even though I've just joined this month, i've been learning a lot and hope to learn a lot more. Ensuring this forum remains an open atmosphere through my own posts is the least I can do.
Respectfully,
Matt

No, I don't think you have inflamed anything milhistbuff. Most of the folks here can discuss controversial stuff without a problem. I know that I dove right into your threads with a passion, but I think we understand that the other guy is well intentioned.

I'm pretty new to the site, but I haven't really seen any scandelous rudeness. But that might be because I avoid the political threads now.
There's always some folks that will get riled, but most everyone has handled themselves well as I have seen.

Respectfully

Hi Everyone:

Yank or Reb, Agnostic or Believer or any belief in between....Please rate my personl performance on CWT in regard to "rudeness" or "politeness." I would truly like to know how I am perceived by my fellow members; nothin less or nothing more. Please do this for my personal knowledge. I would appreciate it.

NOTE: I'm not 'baiting' anyone.

Thank You!
Rob Adams (Alabaman)

Alabaman,

Are you going to start a "Rate Alabaman" thread?

Sam
