Gosh Matt, kind of a "bizarre" statement coming from a Moderator. I thought this was an open discussion board. What do you want folks to do, limit their comments to only those topics directly relevant to their home state. []

Every state has unique qualities, but also shares many similarities with other states. I for one can think of a number of similarities between PA and my home state of Illinois. Furthermore, anyone who follows the often highly entertaining threads on Pensylvania can quickly see that even the PA folks acknkowledge significant diversity throughout the state in terms of availability of public land, deer populations, quality of local game management, etc. in their own area. I've seen plenty of posts of PA people complaining about few deer and too many hunters only to have another person living nearby contradict that assertion. So, why paint the state as some homogenous entitity that is totally unique.
