David, since the war was fought in the South, I feel that region as a rule feels more passionately on the subject. Not to be too partisan but I quite frankly feel that most of the Yanks who post on this board are pretty moderate and really don't need much reigning in..speaking of the regulars.... I know we have had some...from both sides....who were no more than trouble makers and drive bys. Do you remember, a poster who called himself, Williams, claimed to be a black guy and hated the South, about four years ago? I had my own run ins with him as well as you Southrons. Then we found out that the guy was not even black, just playing. We all tend to line with our side and always will, though I agree with you about that spirit of fair play.
