[Petronski]

I never said there was a "nationwide bubble."

Nor did I claim you said so. But your compatriots-in-gloom say or imply it all the time.

[durasell]

I have no compatriots. I am fond of ex-Texan because his links are usually at least interesting and he has always acted in a cordial manner (I'm big on civility). But I do speak only for myself and nobody speaks for me.
