Done!

That looks great. Love the list of newest members. Welcome everyone! Interesting that there are (currently) so many unregistered users online. Nice job, Brian!

Brian,

I am late to comment. Should have done so long ago. I like the idea of seeing flags to indicate how global our membership is.

As for me, I am fine with the US flag by my name. I had ancestors who signed the Declaration and fought in the Revolution. I had ancesstors that fought in the Civil War. One of them died at Andersonville. My father survived 3 beach front invasions in the south Pacific during WWII. I would be honored to have the US flag by my name.

Talk to you later,
Norm

But I would be more than happy and proud to have a USA flag next to my name. And I wouldn't call myself a huge patriot.

For those who wouldn't Canada is calling you.

It's actually not that easy to move to Canada if you're not a Citizen. Plus it's freakin' cold there

I see this as purely geographic and am happy to put the US flag by my name because that's where I live. Doesn't imply anything else. And, politics aside, I DO like it here.

I never thought that putting a flag to indicate where you live would be such a political issue. Seemed like a nice idea to me.

Well Jeff, I guess you have the answer to your question.
