Neither word should be used as an insult for anything, though.

I'm not saying they should. I'm saying that I think the sensitivity to it is just a little much. Let's try controlling things we CAN control. There's a saying that really says it best:

Quote
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Alot of people out there ought to think about those words.  :)

I've gotta admit, there is a little too much sensitivity when it comes to issues like that.

Yeah, I had a similar issue happen to me once back in 2006. I was watching my Mount Holly IntelliStar, then suddenly the feed switched and I saw the Camden IntelliStar instead.
...and the same thing happened this afternoon, except I got IntelliStar 21865, from Burlington's headend. I first thought there might of been a headend merge, but after further looking at this IntelliStar's config, that couldn't of been the case because it didn't have any cities nearby here, and Marlton could barely been seen on the metro map. The current conditions were from Burlington and the forecast was for Willingboro/Mt. Holly/Roebling. 21872 returned within a few hours later though, so there was probably some difficulties or something.

Still receiving this IntelliStar, and have been for more than two weeks now. I don't know if 21865's coverage area expanded, or if my headend is just pulling this IntelliStar's feed instead of its own IntelliStar (21872) for whatever reason (difficulties or something). Just incase there was an expansion, I've requested the Star Team changes to 21865, because now this IntelliStar barely covers my area. So far no changes have been made, nor was I received a word that if me receiving this IntelliStar was intentional or not. What's going on?

I emailed my headend about this, and I get this response that doesn't help at all.  :dunno:
