Well, I guess I got my answer...much thanks all for the info. I guess I like ADT because civility isn't necessarily a bad thing to me. While I can appreciate others who feel it too consored a forum, it works well enough for me.

I kinda like the edgier threads here - will probably stay shy of the Chloe Jones death threads - variety being the spice of life and all that...

and yes, James, I'm a Masshole...was born and raised just North of Boston in the 'burbs.

Thanks again everyone for clueing me in
