Hey Todd (and others),

I know you don't agree with this sort of thing, and I know many of the
guys up north don't, however, as you mentioned, those sort of
statements should be well thought out before posting.  I guess what
really surprises me is that no one else bothered to tell him/them that
it was a bit of generalizing of folks near "Texarkana".  That's "5
land"...

I still take the "moron land" statement as a global issue with folks
in this area.  It should be clarified, if that's not what the original
poster of that statement intended.

Thanks Todd, you're a good guy and I know all of us around here think
the same way.
