We in Schenectady, New York are incensed at the undue amount of attention given here to Hull, UK, otherwise known as Kingston Upon Hull. It's ludicrous and unconscionable. Hull is not nearly as important in the general scheme of things as Schenectady. Schenectady has been the site of several important historical events, and is located in New York, the Empire State, greatest state in the Union. Hull is a flyspeck compared to Schenectady.

See our beautiful city here:

Schenectady, New York

We expect the Mudcat gap that is presently favoring Hull over Schenectady to be resolved before the beginning of 2005 or we will be forced to take legal action.
