Don't you think it's a bit silly that you didn't even bother to include anecdotal data, let alone something more? As it is, it's just worthless unsubstantiated allegations. You could be right, you could be wrong, but your post adds not a single thing to the discussion.

Yup. But in this case I know all too well just what the heck I'm talking about, unfortunately. Hint: I live in Dutchess County, NY and for years worked in Westchester Country, NY.

Besides, the NYT wrote just a puff piece. Now just why would the highly self-esteemed, formerly highly revered, long pseudo-objective NYT do that?

Besides, what details did the NYT piece provide?

Wise up and appreciate a gift when you get it!
