    The only thing I don't like about discussion boards of any type is the freedom of insult that people abuse. They turn into immature children and give others a cuss loaded dressing down for the freedom of anonymity they have on the 'net.

    Other than that universal irritation, this board rocks!

    Double clutching the PMs and checking twice daily to see if I have any is not a big deal to me.

    I love being able to be anonymous, because without privacy, the 'net can come back and bite us in the @$$es in our real lives.

    Being able to vomit our brains out in public but anonymously is a great release and is cathartic.

    We all need to be able to purge our complete thoughts without sanctions.

    So, Snowbird, you Alabamans call yourselves "Alabamians?"

    My daughter and I were having the same discussion about what we are now properly referred to, Arizonans or ArizonIans.

    Question is still out.

    Yessum.

    We call ourselves Alabamians.

    Ditto what you said about insults.

    I`m right with you there white dove, but I`m afraid that many forum type boards (on whatever subject), allways has a few who are "mighty" behind the keyboard, and just seem to want to argue be contrary or whatever. Perhaps they just have more bad days than the rest of the population.

    Here though, I`ve found that the majority of members seem to be very knowledgable, kind and really want to help others.

    All the best

    Snowbird,

    According to our helpful Mary, we are nouns that don't get an "I."

    It's not just alphabetically that Arkansas comes after Alabama.
