Overreact much? I suspect **aahala** didn’t see your post or simulposted and due to the board’s eccentric activity lately has a later time listed.

am i missing something here?

Possibly, although at the time I posted, it seemed to be behaving fairly well. No long delays, and I have a dialup modem which makes the usual delays even longer.

I guess it’s just that I’ve been mantled too often on this board and something just snapped…

Just to pipe in here.

I read that each State in the US has a Greenville (However, spelled and pronounced differently).

This came from a Cracker Barrel Resturant Road Map (Free at any of their resturants). The website did not list this fact.
