*snerk* Nope, I'm not the troll from poor_skills the other day. I promise. ;-) I do live in one of those areas (it's more of a three-town amalgamation), and I've been at a community college where, no shit, I can count the number of non-professors I befriended on one hand. Maybe living away this fall will be good for my social skills (or lack thereof).

Thanks for listening to the blather. I never know where to turn for help on these things, so I end up gravitating to threads like this.
