side question, is kentucky in the south or midwest (i say midwest).
South, and the old south, in lots of ways. It was actually part of Virginia at one time before becoming a state, if my memory serves me right. Although, along with Maryland, it was neutral in the civil war, it was definitely southern in heart and sympathies.
I lived there for three years, a long time ago, and there were a lot of your flags on the cars, etc. So I say south, and I think most old Kentucky families would agree.

Re: Is subbie aroung?
I think it's to do with whether the constitution was really talking about people bearing arms as militias to prevent evil European monarchies re-colonising the fledgeling country, or whether it meant what the N.R.A. wants it to mean.
I can't remember the wording, but I always thought that the former made linguistic and historical sense, meaning that the ammendment was out dated around about the middle of the nineteenth century, when the U.S. had become sufficiently large and populous that no distant powers would possibly be able to threaten her on her own territory.
But Subbie's a U.S. lawyer, so he might be able to put us straight on this.

poor quaility messages are purely subjective, and there is not much i can do about that.
Wrong. The capital letter at the beginning of sentences, like the period and the space at the end, is there to make it easier to distinguish between sentences, so that reading is easier.
So, if someone suspended you for leaving them out, that person could certainly claim an objective reason for doing so.
