Again, NOT YOUR CALL TO MAKE. Check the other resident categories, for God's sake. These as well: List of Seattleites, List of Portlanders. It is popular vernacular to refer to someone as a New Yorker if they live in New York or an Atlantan if they live in Atlanta. Torquing an entire category because YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY is absolutely unacceptable. -- ChrisB 04:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
