Same deal when encountering someone wearing an AC/DC shirt or a Che Guevera shirt.
How many times do I have to get through your thick skull that as soon as you know some smart people with Philly or Jersey or Baltimore or whatever else accents that you'll reconfigure your views just as you did about NYers?
And it's mind boggling to me how a Philly accent could sound retarded. You described it as ghetto gangster but apparently you don't know what that means because white people in Philly have the strongest Philly accents of all."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that all the people up in that area speak like that. I did note a correlation with those who felt there 'ivy league' education was worth more than a fiddlers fart.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI
