Excellent moderation skills Dave!
One problam though, Oren is from the south and they won that war you guys had with the north, so he can pull rank. Unless, of course, Nashville is in the south too - can you please verify; Nashville, north or south?

Since Nashville is (A) known as "The Athens of the South", and (B) was occupied by Union troops during what we call "The War Of Northern Agression" or "The Late Unpleasantness", I'd think that we're a Southern city. As North Carolinians have always felt inferior to those of us from Tennessee, I don't think Oren CAN rank me (unless he's rank himself, of course - in which case, perhaps he could schedule his annual bath for a few weeks sooner than usual).

I say all of this laughingly - though I live in Tennessee, I'm from Texas. And Texans outrank everyone.
