Cathy - The 'Bama jokes are just as bad as the WV ones; I heard there is one guy that is his own father...
So many people move here from elsewhere (guilty as charged but over 15 years ago) it would be hard to quiz people fairly. The only NC natives I know really well are the four I am raising. I guess you could just tell applicants you trust them and if they think that's unusual, they must not live here.  |

I grew up in Tuscaloosa. Only Bama natives and football fans know where that is.
I also moved here around 15 years ago. But, I did have an early connection to NC, my great aunt and uncle lived in Ashville and I used to spend summers with them when I was very young.
This is a very unusual web site in the fact that many of the people have met and do get together often. That keeps us civil, friendly and helpful.
I know this is not a change in policy but it is a good reminder and it is important to keep it up front so everyone knows how much we care about the relationships formed here.

There's really no good way to verify residency, short of IP tracing which is really not all that reliable since it's all to easy to spoof. A malicious person is not going to just log into the internet and fill out a form truthfully I would think the person would assume an undetectable identity.
Just a thought
