Mr. Chambers - some of us get sick of the whining that goes on - so that said why don't you shut the f**k up if you haven't something nice to say? Paul

I'm sorry, God please forgive me, I won't say that again - Paul

Paul, you could have quoted King Juan Carlos of Spain instead.

Quoting Kerryman: someone has a bee in his bonnet. :-)

OWD, I hope my post didn't get lost amid the "chatter"

You're right, Robert. Sincere, heartfelt apology forthcoming:

I apologize for pointing out to you that maybe you'd made a spelling error in the "L'Abeille" thread. I apologize for pointing out to you that the French word for bee is "abeille" and not "abielle". I apologize for believing that seemingly small spelling errors can be important where doubleguns are concerned. Examples (some of which you've referenced in your own posts, which would lead me to believe you might think the same thing): W. Richards rather than Westley Richards; Barker instead of Parker. And finally, I apologize for your reaching the conclusion that I consider myself an expert on French guns, when in fact I was only asking you for a photo of a French gun you claimed to own, called "L'Abielle", but which I had never heard of and would have been interested in seeing--as perhaps another example of the Parker/Barker ripoff, or maybe just a legitimate coincidence with two names almost exactly alike.

And finally I apologize for believing that when someone is wrong, the simple solution for the individual in question is to say "Woops, my bad, I inverted a couple letters--it's really the other way around." Or whatever the case may be. Nevertheless, that's how I intend to operate in the future when someone catches me in a mistake--which has happened in the past and will almost certainly happen again.

JC, I'm not sure the French use that particular colloquial expression about bees in bonnets, but I liked Kerryman's post too.

Larry, non, je pense que ce n'est pas une expression Française, mais....

I share your apology and congratulate you for it.

JC

JayCee, my grandmother use to say that to me all the time when I was a kid. I can't count the times I told her, "I don't wear a bonnet, grandma. And I don't see any bees."

Larry,

All you had to do was say...Hey, I think you have the I & E mixed up...you didn't point out the spelling error, you called to question the validity of the information that I posted instead...there is a big difference...you knew exactly what you were doing...I posted the a photo of gun in question, verifying the very info that you challenged, except for a spelling error I backed my words with evidence...as you insisted, even though you now claim that you knew of the company all along...

Now I have JC and bladesmith tossing out the insults as a direct result of your tampering with the thread, rather than contributing...If I have any future problems with these members, the responsibility is squarely yours ...

Exactly like you, I will sign off with a sideways insult...I would much rather have a bee in my bonnet than what's in your bonnet. Don't type "heartfelt" unless you mean it...

Robert, I sincerely believe I have never insulted you, but if you feel I did I apologize.

I have broken my above promise for this only time. I thought it was needed.

Best,

JC
