- If you cannot find the underlying current in these posts Jim, then maybe they
- are older than a month. My site only keeps articles for 3 days, so I'm not much
- help there either as I don't keep copies. I was also reacting to several people
- who are e-mailing me personally and I may have presumed that the copies of
- articles they are sending me are postings to this group when in fact they may
- have come from another. I often miss posts due to the 3 day delete here. Take a
- 3 day weekend and you miss a day's worth.
- Anyway, a number of those posts that I have received copies of have
- *very* sexual overtones and I am dealing with these people on my own, thank
- you.
-
- A last note to the people who have written to me and are *not* using
- guns as dick-substitutes, thank you, you know who you are and I appreciate your
- maturity and intellect.

- Again, I have not made any false claims here. This is a accurate account of my
- trip to the gunstore. It really doesn't matter if you or anybody else believe
- it Jim, it is my experience and affects me alone. I used it only to make a
- point through exaggerated comparison to the posts here. No one here has been
- that bad, (that I have seen myself [see above reply]) though a few of the
- people who have been replying to me personally have come close. Then again, the
- gun people are a lot more civil than the _last_ group to flame me! I got some
- nice *threats* from them (heh-heh-heh)! Such is dweebishness.

- It's allright, I'm learning that the nature of the net makes a lot of
- us jump without looking. *All* parties included.
