Interesting read, where L'il Rhody really sticks out like a sore thumb:

Did you look at their methodology? Do you know that RI has one of the highest internet connectivity rates in the US? On that basis alone, we have a high rate of searches in general.

Their methodology would include students googling for writing papers. I find this whole thing highly suspect in terms of scientific research.

Is RI racist- of course. So is the whole world. Are we especially racist and much more than other states? Who knows- but I doubt it.

Of course it's not scientific, none of these studies are. But it is curious how much RI differs from the surrounding states. Does it have a much higher connectivity rate than say Mass. or NH?

Based on what you admit is non scientific data? C'mon, that is a worthless and utterly speculative request, one better made on Rush "Little Blue Pills" or Sean's Web forum.

Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard!

What state do you live in? Seems a very delicate, secretive and indeed verboten subject with you, but perhaps we could, you know, compare notes?

Answer the questions, please, lest you appear, once again, incapable of defending your, you know, kooky statements? Thanks!

I don't have to defend jack.

I thought this would bring about interesting conversation. Don't you know it's OK to lighten up once in a while, and not take life so seriously? Aren't you used to doing such (at least after hours wherever it is you go at night)? It's certainly one thing you learn living out in these woods!

So what do you say? Anything to contribute to the topic?

Here slowly come the crickets...

^ Well, there it is, proof positive you cannot defend your off-the-wall assertions and instead choose to attack the plaintiff. Sad. So sad. So predictable.

"Out in the woods?" If you hear banjo music, run! Or, not.

No because I made no assertions, in fact I really have no idea what you are talking about. What is the Eagle spiking its beverages with these days?

You know infinitely more about the Eagle than I ever could -- I mean, you refer to Snow Street far more than I. So you first. I'm right behind you.
