You sent a message to me the other day. I was in a hurry at the time I read it, and I meant to get back to you. I forgot to do so. Sorry! The other thing I want to apologize to you for is my taking the name of your thread in vain. I refer to it as Seldom Drilling, Seldom Right. I call it Seldom Right for short. It isn't fair that I refer to your group over there as Seldom Right, but it isn't your group I'm talking about. It's only one person, your friend Isopatch. I mean no disrespect to you and I have no ill feelings towards you. When you left this thread, I mentioned publicly, right here, that for a long time you were the lone wolf on the PM's. You made many contributions to this thread in the past, but your passion was the PM's. I mentioned to the folks here that an old friend, (you), found a place to go where you could share that passion with others that had the same objectives, and that is was in your best interest that we hold no grudge towards you for leaving. You made your bones here and I still consider you a man of respect. I know that it makes you feel uncomfortable about the way I'm trashing one of your friends. It isn't something I'm proud of doing but it is something that needed to be done. It was in the best interests of all the people who wanted to post here and other places that your friend be taken down a notch or two. You can't imagine the number of PM's and e-mails I've received, congratulating me for showing your friends poor analysis. I've even received some congratulatory PM's from a couple of people who post on your thread. They mentioned they would continue to be polite over there, but were glad I took up the cause. Your friend attempted to degrade and humiliate a lot of people. He was quick to point out the mistakes of others. There's a price that must be paid for that, and if I'm the one that needs to do it ... so be it. Your call is duly noted. I hope I'm able to congratulate you for it. I hope that Marine is doing well! dabum
