Just what defines a Flatlander

I see it a little differently, Lakesrider. I'm a native but many of my good friends are "flatlanders"........I don't think of it as derogatory at all. I believe most locals think of flatlanders just as people from south of NH such as Mass, NY, Conn and NJ......I've never heard that term to describe someone who moves here from Vermont or Maine.
Anyone who is nice to others seems to blend right in and most people don't even think about it. Just my $.02.
