Long Island, New Jersey, the=20 five boroughs...ALL have their sub-accents, and sub-sub-accents, and as=20 population changes, so do the regional accents.

However, if these policies are retained, it would seem that, in the= =20 name of scientific inquiry, you should attempt to return some parts after=20 having held them for well over the 30 day period.

Of course, in the service of dialectic discourse, we should now say "On the= =20 other hand...". As long as we forgo engaging in the DIANETIC approach ;) Seasoned greetings to all.
