Unfortunately, your broad stereotyping of Yankees is what keeps most of us who can and do agree with much of what is said here on the boards from posting. I am one of those damned Yankee teachers but not of the ilk you spout forth about. Try being more realistic in your dealings (talkings) and you may get more of us to post. You make quite the case for Yankees who stereotype "Southerners" in a bad light by your very comments in your post.
Needless to say (but I will anyway), I probably will stay away ffrom the board from now on.
