George, wash out yur mouth. For shame. I'm a Texian and I am definitely a
Southroner, since my folks got to Texas via Lousyanna at the close of the
Late Unpleasantness. Texians from Tyler down to Corpus all consider
themselves Southroners. It's them Texians from the Panhandle and such
places that may be passin' so to speak. And then there are the folk from
Midland headed to El Paso....them's is the westerners. Still, they is
western Southroners in my book <bg>
