My original and follow-up comments on "ghost town" was a sincere effort to clarify the meaning of the term. Without a clear understanding of the usage of a term effective communications can not take place. When I think of a "ghost town" the image I had was of a total deserted intact place including buildings, etc.. butI now realize that the term can also apply to partial deserted places. Dale's definitions was constructive and helpful and I appreciated them .. The comments that occurred about or after this point in time didn't contrbute to the discussion and I won't add fuel to the fire.. but I will vote with Richard White... James James L.
