Nice read and thanks for all the hard work covering this bad habit we all have.

Matt,

Congrats on the move and getting out of the Blue mess. You are very fortunate to have made all of the friends, "as many of us are", all while being a part of this hobby. Florida/LOTO residence combination is a pretty tough program to beat.

Keep up the awesome work and thank you,

Joe

Matt, that’s a very unfortunate use of the name “Ground Zero,” which will always mean 9/11 and the World Trade Center to patriotic Americans.
please find a different phrase to describe your move to Florida.
With all respect,

Apache Pete

Though the site of the September 11 attack has come to be known as "Ground Zero," it is not synonymous with it. The expression is still widely used in verbal and written communication unrelated to the September 11 masscre. So I will have to very respectfully disagree with you.

and the winter traffic on the west coast but I guess compared to CA traffic it might not be that bad.

Matt, I just Googled “ground zero.” The most common meaning is the spot directly below a nuclear bomb detonation.
I still suggest your use of the term to be inappropriate.
Sorry.

I respect your opinion as you're entitled to it, but if you're offended by that. You should retire from the internet...
