My first inclination was to just let this thread pass, but me being me - I just can't do it.
Some people are taking the posts on this thread and sometimes this forum way too seriously. Stranded's post was clever and well thought out, and posted for fun. As I said I believe his bottom line was not negatively aimed at anyone, we are all just people connected by a common interest.
And Wonder, we have a lot in common, I'm an accomplished target shooter, small bore mostly, but enjoy my shotguns too. I haven't killed a game bird or animal in years and years, but when I did it fed the family. I also was brought up to respect others, my wife of 48 years can attest to that. Best regards - Bob
