I always get a chuckle from a Thorny post. In the first incarnation of the board, Thorny was certainly not the only spewer of poison, but, most of it ended when Dave went to the sign in type of system, and cracked a whip, so to speak, shortly thereafter. No one will ever accuse 'Ole Thorny of technical diversity or skills in said realm, but, nobody here has better taste in guns, better stuff in their safe, or a better grip on what we don't have in the woods today than Thorny. As Steve Forbert laments, bittersweetly, he was "Born too late, and everything he loves, is gone, gone, gone", and I bet 'Old Thorny can relate. I'd love to share a pint or two with the guy, but, I'd pass on the turkeys and deer he has in abundance, as the dog is what keeps me hunting today. Chin up, Thorny, and if I don't get the chance to tell you in a PM, (since it seems to be on the fritz for a few around here) Merry Christmas!
Best,
Ted
