I don't think anyone was intentionally being snobbish.  Maybe people

Considering almost 3 million people in the US and Canada have been without
power since last Wednesday (we were lucky and got ours back about 10pm

Keep asking the questions.  All of us newbies and the oldsters can learn
from them.
 
Roberta  (wow, lights, power, heat and my own bed again! It doesn't get any

Flake  (We're tough.  We survived the Great Ice Storm of 1998.)
Houdini (Mom, are we really Yuppie Refugees?)
and Bandit (Why couldn't we bring that big fur face home with us?)
