I am. I used to avoid using "y'all" in most formal or public
communications but abandoned that policy several years ago. I like using
it to avoid ambiguity of "you" and "your" used to refer to a collective;
I originally had "you" there but decided to change it since more than
one person maintains GAWK and didn't want anyone to feel slighted.
