I think that thread is over the top of many of us, including me. Maybe thats why it didn't get the attention you thought it deserved?
Many of us live in a town smaller than the member count on CC, some live on the other side of the tracks, some on Snob Nob, some downtown, and some in the new subdivison. All started grade school, went to high school, some droped out, 30% went to college, 50% of those finished their degree. The rest work both blue and white collar jobs. This is how I view CC.
I have been reading threads here for over 5 years now, I am no expert on anything, I have seen Art Colleys wisdom, Meats flamethrowers, your expertise, and Brents patience. I have gotten something from most of it, been pi$$ed a few times, and have gone to a funeral for one of our members that lost his life in a Cobra.
I am a very conservative guy, I hate it when the left uses the term"community", I can't describe CC any other way. Maybe CC just needs a better sewer system sometimes.
