Sorry about the wisecrack at end of my last post, Bill
knew better the second I hit the send button
too much meds the last couple weeks I think
mouth & button-pushing-finger in gear
brain stuck in neutral
your fundamental ideas have been real sharp-
i might debate the feasbility of some of them as far as implementation goes, but that's just details - the basic ideas are what's important
us "cranky yankees" can tend to be a little over-reactive to folks who come on real fast with lots of let's-do-something-different ideas all at once,
even if the ideas are faultless & obvious
I'm born & bred in the land of:
"if it 'ud work, we'd already 'a done it, ayuh"
and
" when in doubt, do nuttin', it's safer"
I think it's probably in the water
and I haven't been out of town for a while.........
to the world, "yankee" means USA folk
to USA folk, Yankee means the northeast
in the northeast, Yankee means New England
in New England, Yankee means Mainers
or as we call ourselves: Mainiacs
so what can I say - I think it's genetic
