Maybe you're all just a bit illiterate!
Look on the bright side Shorty, at least it is all in the open now and we know the truth. I think it's time for a big group hug and then we can all move on.

+1 I thought PSUhorty was a short guy that went to my Dad's alma mater

As for my screen name - when treated unfairly I do have a bit of temper, and people don't expect that from a woman.

I thought maybe you were a college-age skater. I've seen hoodies with S horty S across the front, shilling for a brand of skateboard hardware. The PSU sounded like a school, although I had no idea which one.

not so fast there. First we need to clarify something. So PSUhorty, just how tall are you?

Doesn't matter how tall he is anymore. He will be called shorty from here on out. ^

Yes indeed -- count me as another who thought "shorty".

iff = infrequent flyer, which is unfortunately even more accurate now than when I joined FlyerTalk.
