Ok. If the 30s or whenever it came up are the "midpoint". Note that 
*again* you are saying something completey different now than you

People from other parts of the US might object to your implying that 
"the way we dance in Buffalo" = "the way we dance in the US". I hope

"suppositions", it was *ME* questioning them. You have been "blowing 
smoke".
