It's not so long ago (2009) that I was fresh-faced from New York
and was all confused and panicked when someone in Colorado didn't want to do a bill of sale. To the point where someone found my post on another forum and was publicly embarrassed for it by multiple forum members. Now it seems to be the opposite.
You've got to be an Upstater. No sane metro area new yawker would admit to ANYTHING, vocally, paper or print.
