[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I am trying to say social prestige counts when other people recognize it. Most people don’t give two hoots about Boston Brahmins. At least the queen is recognizable to the masses.[/quote]
Social prestige can be regional. In Boston it does matter and people do respect it there. [/quote]

No. Used to live in Boston and the average Boston Joe don’t give two hoots. [/quote]
It may of just been the circle you were in. I've found that in Boston there are "Native Bostonians" and everyone else who moved their from out of state or were students.  I'm a business owner and when we first did business (effectively niche consulting) there we were told not to do it without an insider doing the introductions or we would run up against problems. It was true. I found people constantly asking about who we were related when we were just trying to do business. We hired someone's green kid with a pedigree who had just graduated from Harvard to make contacts. It made all the difference. I've done business in LA and NYC and never ran into that there.

I went to Harvard and always thought the natives were townies. I was meeting people from around the country and world. I didn’t care who was a native Bostonian.[/quote]
