For goodness sake, if I saw all these people lining up to coax me into their side show tents, telling me how friendly they are and how addicting it can be, I'd wonder if I'd stumbled into a sales convention of real estate people and latte vendors. If you are actually a newcomer, have enough smarts and money to own a computer, collect lighthouse models, and have read this far, don't worry, its not always this schmaltzy. It seems to be a phase we're going through.

And if you are planning a driving trip through Massachusetts, I suggest sticking a lighthouse model to your dashboard like a plastic Jesus. I hear it works better than a Valentine-1.

Smurfily yours from the forum's dark underbelly,
