Is there a way to search the users list by locale? (State, zip, City or the like)

There used to be (by state/country) on the original board. But not with the new software package. Now it's all back alley conversations and rumour

Pssst....over here Bill. Let me tell about this "freedom" character here. Ya can't trust anything he says.

(I mean, would you trust any Yank who always puts "u"s in places where they don't need to be???...huh???!!!)

It's all those Brits around here. They're rubbing off on him...

Yeah, John. That's the ruMOR I've heard TOO!!!

It may be just a rumour but they spell like that in Canada too, or so a neighbour told me and I honour his opinion.

Well Keith, remember in your Car Show thread where I said that B.C. is probably too close to Washington State?

Well dude, the GOOD part of all that is that because of this close proximity to each other(I mean, we ARE a heck of lot closer to you guys up there than those Limeys way over there are, RIGHT?!)...well, maybe as I was sayin' because of this close proximity here, EVENTUALLY you folks up there in Canada might someday realize that americans, while maybe not possessing the greatest taste in things, have at least "streamlined" the english language a bit, and thus have made it, well let's say, a little more "user friendly"!!!

(and sooooo MAYBE in the near future, you guys UP THERE might just eventually "throw off the shackles of the superfluous U", as we freedom loving Yanks did centuries ago, thanks I might add to the brave, patriotic, and of course, freedom-loving american lexicographer, Mr. Noah Webster!!!)

Ya Dwight... I remember what you said in the car show thread about us in BC being too close to Washington State. And you know what? You put up a good argument about the 'u' thing. I can tell by the way you write that you are an avid reader, and good a reader often equates to a good writer. But I gotta tell you... as a man your age, I have habits that will never change. And I will probably go to my grave writing longhand with the 'u's wherever they land. But ain't it beautiful to be as diverse and colourful as we all are. There... I gotcha with another one! God bless America!

Hey Kidhaf

You left out a few serious Scottish inventions, like the Kilt, the telephone and inflatable rubber tyres.

And BTY congrats on spelling everything correctly.

Nice list there, Eric! Yep! Very impressive indeed, ol' buddy!

But you know that one on your list there: "Colour Photography"?

Well dude, I hope you know that THAT baby THERE really wasn't "perfected" until those bright boys out here in Hollywood California USA devised that process known far and wide as...are ya ready now...yep...tah daaaah......TECHNICOLOR!!!

(and notice the complete absence of the "superfluous u" in that baby THERE, will ya???!!!)

Anesthetic...Scotch?

Beta Blockers....something to prevent new programs?

and as for Noble Gases..I can do without the farts of royalty!

Wasn't hollow pipe drainage Roman? They even found some in pompie (how ever it's spelled)


As for the rapping and bastardized lowest common denominator, I have to agree,that stuff really bugs me.

Interesting dialogue (dial-a-log) for certain, but back to Bill's original inquiry, in lieu - lew - lou - loo of software sorting, you can get a sense of "member location" by grammatical, or is it linguistic, stylings.

Personal preference in adult beverages being a close second.

missed JAFFA CAKES

and HAGGIS, praise the wee one.

I saw in a movie where insulin was invented by a Canadian eh? He was killed on an airplane being shuttled to the Brits before the USA got into the war (WWII.)
