The problem with this area is that most of the children born here have been military who moved away and generally settled at their fathers’/mothers’ last duty station. The older folks I know moved here from Southern Alabama for the fishing, or for retirement from the Midwest. I doubt I could ID a 5% number as natives.

Native Floridians do exist, just as native Californians exist. I do admit that they’re a rather rare bunch though, I think in the time I’ve worked here in the Silicon Valley maybe 5% of the people I worked with were from California…

There are actually very few native Floridians around. I have a nephew who was born here, but he lives in California [better surf]. Just because their current address is Florida doesn’t say much.

Speaking of spam, I had to pull your other comment out of the spam folder. No idea why, because it doesn’t have any of the markers of the spam I’ve been getting. It may be the length. I wish one of these programs had a ‘white list’ to avoid false positives.

Yeah, there doesn’t seem to be much logic in the way they pick posts to spam.

LOL Yeah… Kinda like troll’s really! No respect for staying on topic! 😉 😀 I had one today for an affiliate marketing com to buy a book to help people get rich quick! Of the course, the little misdirection is that the only one getting rich is the guy selling the con! LOL It’s the biggest problem for me, because part of my biz site is attracting legitimate sellers, including affiliate types.

There is NO magic bullet! Not in anything. 🙂

Oh btw, I picked up another follower from Florida, an Entertainers/Event Marketing/Booking company this time! Seems legit, so I’ll allow them. Why do Floridians like my pin boards? I have a dozen or so now! LOL Weird. 🙂 Got 306 followers now. 🙂
