So, like I said originally, I lived in Monroe which is in Orange County, which is in Upstate NY.

Even George Washington referred to the Pine Bush area as Upstate NY.
I realize that this is 'silly semantics'.
However,there is a dividing line between 'really'upstate and downstate.
Syracuse,on the Mohawk river is downstate,and the hospital,and some municipal buildings are so named.
I also have been exposed to a few really upstate New Yorkers,who consider themselves 'better' then ordinary downstate New Yorkers.
When I post on a forum that is New York oriented,like this one,I identify myself as 'downstate',to seperate myself from those folks.On any other forum,I am 'upstate'

I'm just down the road from you in Wappingers, if you ever want a shooting partner I'd be happy to bring my AR over to help you break in that 100 yard range.
