No offense taken, I assure you, CR. Actually I felt that was a very nice invitation to jump right in. The honorary Old Rooster of the MI thread, Opa, mentions periodically that the MI thread is the second most active state thread... which caused my mind to immediately go to the question, "Well, who is number one?" I LOVE that you all are so modest you didn't even know.
If you go to the forum listings, to "Social" and then "Where am I? Where are you?" thread links, you will see the number of posts in each. Washington blows every other state away.
Not that numbers matter, of course. It's not the number of posts, it's the family feeling shared by the posters. We have that at the MI thread. You have that here.
And CR? I couldn't respect you if you didn't value the WA peeps over any other state's. Blood's thicker than water... even virtual blood. I feell the same way about the MI people. (Even though when anyone asks me where I'm from, after 30 some years, I still say, "Washington"). (Well, more accurately, I say, "the state of Washtington." I would say "the good Washington" if I thought people would get it).
OK so ya got my curiosity up and I had to go look. Not that it really matters but.
Not that I would have anything to do with any of that.
