Thomas,

There are more Yanks down here than you might think. Having originally moved here from NYC nearly 11 years ago I find that I'm now resentful of all these "Northerners" coming down. Seemed different for some reason back in 1990 when I was the one moving south... A bit off topic, but considering the thread title and subsequent posts, I'm guessing I'm safe. :)
