This has been interesting, but I get the feeling that if you are not one of the "in" people, people are just not interested in you. Thought I might get at least a welcome or something, but, no dice. I guess you guys down there have more important stuff to do. See you later 
nah, not more important stuff to do, just trying to relax and catch our breath after a rather hectic 2 months. Come on back, while a few people know each other on here, I'm personally not coming in expecting to make friends with anyone on here. I'm here to read on hurricanes, learn about the storms, and otherwise put my occasional 1.5 cents in the mix. This group is a fairly friendly lot actually. And I know I try to read every post on here, even when it's 500 of them. (they start to blur together if you're not careful....)
Chin up and hang around, we're just exhausted, not mean

Good, and I believe a correct answer. I just got power back on yesterday, had to 'unevacuate', teach a class that evening and find my belt so I didn't have to use an extension cord to hold up my pants. This board was getting hundreds of posts per hour during peak, then many of us lost power, had to evacuate or lost ability to communicate because of lines down. It has only been a couple of days since we were in some cases, fighting for our lives. Ruffled feathers can be expected I guess, but a thicker skin might be an asset right about now. I have been trying to catch up with many hundreds of posts I wasn't able to read 'real-time', taking hours. I suspect many others are in the same boat. I think your answer was correct....we aren't mean, we've just had the crap beaten out of us, collectively and as individuals.
