yeah i couldn't recall why you left. i knew you were at a local school, hence why you posted.
no one took you posting personally, but much like any communities, you have to introduce yourself to it slowly. and being from new england, you kinda had that going against you.
nothing against you personally of course, but for some reason over the years those from the NE subforum and the mid-Atlantic subforum never quite seem to get along very well. Probably the NYCers caught in the middle stirring the pot.
either way, hope things are well.
