friends:

I find Lowell to be a quite creative writer. For the most part his comments are entertaining. When I find one which is not, I just skip over it.

Perhaps some folks cannot easily find the "skip over" or "down arrow" key.

I find some of the current sexual innuendo and slurs, the ad hominem attacks, and things of that ilk to be a bit junior high, and decidedly lacking in courtesy and gentlemanly bearing. It is also a distraction.

BG Lewis Armistead and MG William Hancock could remain friends while battleing each other to the death- can't we friends of double guns and the field sports not maintain at least a level of common courtesy in our discourse?

My thoughts.

Regards to all.
