After traveling to Spain, California, North Carolina, and Virginia (especially North Carolina and Virginia) I do realize that we Northeasterners are not the friendliest, and most polite, people in the world, so your point is well taken.

You are correct. I never have been fortunate enough to have been to the Evergreen State. From what I understand it's a beautiful place, with those majestic Olympic Mountains, and one of the most beautiful temperate rainforests in the world.

If you truly lack a sense of humor, then I will gladly go back and delete my posts. Maybe those from the Beaver State, like Mark Padgett, have a slightly better sense of humor than those from the other state in their region?

While I admit that I don't have the greatest sense of humor in the world, I will say that's it's not bad. Not as highly developed as Snaqs or M&M, but I'm getting there.

But my question would be - how in the world is one to know that you are joking when you make comments about other people being pot-smokers or tree-huggers? Those are both fairly insulting comments around here, and without the use of a smilie or something (I know, you say you aren't "that type of guy") one can only figure that you are trying to be insulting.

If you aren't, then you should try to figure out a way to let people know that in your posts.

I never 'smileyed' my posts while living in VT when the subject was flatlanders. On any bulletin board or forum. My only question is this: Will I reach a 10 second count before this thread is locked?

Research has shown that having a good sense of humor is directly proportional to a person's height. That just illustrates another reason why your ex-supervisor was so disappointed with your...um...shortcomings.

Just another in a long list of personality flaws, Rocky.

Please take this critique in the positive way that it was meant to be, ShortAzz.

Point well taken. However, after 5,500 plus posts, most Forum members know that I have never (except one time, and only one time, with Old School) been purposely insulting. I pride myself on my politeness and tolerance. My parents raised me right, God bless them.

However (again) if someone moved here from Mars and just joined the Forum, then he, or she, certainly might think that I was posting insulting remarks. But I'll have to take that chance, because, as I said earlier, like 26 Year Gap, I'm not a blue font, or smilie, kind of guy.

NYS Boys use NHS Rules. Girls use NCAAW rules with some modifications: notably on a technical foul the ball is awarded at half court opposite the table just like boys to the shooting team not point of interuption like NCAA women's. Why? I do not know. NYS girls 30 second shot clock, no 10 sec count, 5 sec holding the ball and closely guarded within 3 feet. Also use women's NCAA Mechanics fore girls HS.

Blue font is the preferred method. Right everyone?

Cheaters Never Prosper ...

Are you accusing a former esteemed member of using steroids?
