Wikipedia does not accept personal anecdotes as citations. See the link "No Original Research" above. Lentower 23:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh please flamer, the two sentences I added ARE FACT, which is why they've stayed on the article.

[edit] Affluence

"Brightwaters is an affluential area with a median income for family over $100,000." when in demographic section, it states the median oncome to be only ~$88K. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.4.106 (talk • contribs) 09:42, 2007-05-29

If you would read the demographics median income for family is $102,986 median income per houshold is $88,556 since the median income for suffolk, where Brightwaters is located, is 72,112. Also the median household income in the United States of America is $46,326. I would have to say that Brightwaters is an affluential area. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.46.229.141 (talk • contribs) 11:02, 2007-07-04 you're quite right my friend :)
