Whoa Bubba, that's quite a leap! I was born and raised in Connecticut as was my father, his father and well.. you get the picture.
The only thing I've ever heard out of a northerners mouth bad about the south was that "you'd better drive the speed limit down there because those good old boy love to ticket Yankees."
I doubt her comments were pointing in that direction,IMHO
I drew that conclusion from the "tone" of her reply. I really doubt that if she had considered I was a woman (which I am) she would have been as angered as she was. Anyway, I have offered an apology for calling her dumb via freep mail with no response as of yet. I don't know why we bother with sarcasm tags if people still don't pay attention to them. Kindof ruins the subtle humor side of threads.
