....Two classes of people on this forum have it knocked. A few guys here shoot guns that are exactly the opposite of what most of us want. They clean up when that style double comes along. Then there are the dog men, who know that the gun is almost unimportant... that watching the dogs run is all that matters.
Double guns are becoming more expensive. There are going to be fewer guns to buy and discard. By necessity we are going to have to make a greater effort to come to terms with our near misses. Perhaps in the process we will find a charm in styles that we never knew worked so well. Perhaps, like the generations that have gone before us, we will reach for the well worn field grade that has killed so many birds. It is after all balance that makes a double kill a double. We are only along for the ride.

Please don't take it as a slight or personal, but I respectfully disagree with most of this. I think we all decide what ride we're on. Hopefully, they're all slightly different rides, but enjoyable rides. I am familiar with a few folks that seem to be on the ride that they're happiest being unsatisfied.
