That's a thoughtful post, senior c, (post #39) you describe your hometown environment with affection and pride and it is well deserved, I'm sure.
But you (and all who have grown up there) have come to understand, nurture and appreciate that wonderful environment as it has evolved for you.... over a lifetime.
In a way, it might be considered as a sacred tribe of sorts.


In comparison, a place like ours here is in it's infancy. As friendly as our citizens are and with the desire of community spirit that we endeavor to embrace, still we come together from many different 'tribes' or 'cultures'.
TV has been developed (physically) in the middle of another, existing 'culture' that has been here for generations. So with such diversity, we don't all hold to identical values and ways of doing things like many small communities do.
We hope that we all have a similar code of conduct, but humans do what humans do when they want to be contrary.

Since most of us haven't been here for a very long time, we haven't the luxury of recommending someone because they have stood the test of time.
We can only recommend based on our limited personal experience. Most of us try to be as discerning, then helpful as we can.
