Lowell, you don't have to repeat the thread titles. I told you I looked them up. If I felt like telling my life story as poor financial planner or starting a thread discussing my 38 years (and running) as a big block Harley owner, I'm sure I could also get an audience. Because of the theme of Dave's forum and website, I would rather discuss my 50 plus years as a double shotgun owner and researcher. Anyone who wants to know about my "lean times" and my Harley can contact me by snail mail. However, don't expect an answer because I spend most of my time shooting and messing with my bird guns. I told you "I stand corrected, somewhat." Isn't that enough? As far as what I've done, I try to participate in discussions of double guns, both technical and historical.
