LD, posts do sometimes get "diverted". And if you'll notice, King and I aren't bashing away at each other any more. Not to mention the fact that if you look back at the start of this whole thread, I made one of the few really substantive posts about a lead shot ban, referring to the report from the MN DNR's Nontoxic Shot Advisory Committee. At some point, probably before too long, I'm likely to do an article on the "dangers" posed by lead shot. But since I'm still in the information-gathering phase, LD, if you have something substantive to contribute, I'm all ears.
