Sirs and Fellow Double Gun Devotees. Ive translated the missive I first posted. I was in Charles De Gaullewaiting 7 hours for a flight and groggy from being awake for 20 hours already; and when that appeared on my google search, I immediately deleted it.did not click - dont trust such messages. But it is not a Fench government post - rather it's a message from Google about privacy and looks to be an effort to protect the company from EU lawsuits. EU has targeted a number of US high-tech firms for legal actions which looks to be Brussels high-handedness (EU suites against Apple, Amazon, etc. all coming out of an unelected central bureaucracy in Brussels).
Anyway, I apologize for starting this line - it just gave an opportunity for Drunks-in-a-Bar - those guys with slurred voices and opinions about everything - to spout their unwanted and unread political rants and to indulge in vicious personal attacks against fellow free-Americans on a site devoted to sport and mechanical engineering. We live in a free country posting on an unmoderated free board which means (I guess) it's self-policed and relies on self restraint. Unfortunately it's degenerated to a point where one can vomit garbage whenever one wants - doesn't mean it's worth a tinker's damn and this baloney isn't. It must be too cold outside to hunt. Again my apologies for opening Pandoras Box.
