- I agree, and I'm a New Yorker. I have a suggestion. After every
- show, people who are not familiar with New York culture post a list of
- everything in the show (every line, situation, gesture, whatever) that
- they did *not* find either funny or lame (the latter implying you got
- it, but didn't like it), and we New Yorker "insiders" will respond
- with explanations. This way we stop insulting you with our
- unsolicited NY superiority garbage... you still get it, but only on
- demand!
