Thanks for the response. My original post was to ask as many people as possible whether I had misinterpreted some of the posts I've read. There seemed to be a "Virginia Only" theme in a lot of them and I was puzzled.
Apparently I have misinterpreted. Thanks again.
This site surely has a few "loud" members that are like that. Since they have the attitude, they have to make it heard. Most of us aren't like that, even native born Virginians.
