    Thank you for the kind words.  I truly believe Pittsburghers and those
of us from western Pennsylvania environs are truly proud of our home towns.
I do not notice that in other areas.
    The other thing you will find with insecure people, they tend to not ask
for any help and will be very quick to put someone else down. Many times
they do not have an answer themselves, they just shrug of the answer to hide
their lack of knowledge.
    As I tell my students, "Never be afraid of asking a question.  How do
you expect to learn?"
