Drew - we will miss you, your depth of knowledge, and your much needed civility. Be careful, make the world a better place, and come back soon. And yes, the roads and drivers in the third world are a lot more dangerous than the diseases and bad guys.
I am a vocal defender of the 2A (dangerously unfashionable in the Bay Area), but I echo others' disgust at the few children on this board whose constant juvenile name-calling completely undermines whatever useful contribution they might otherwise make. Like Drew, both Larry and King are highly accomplished and articulate gentlemen and they demonstrate saintly patience in tolerating the children's abuse. I rarely looked at Misfires because CA has been in a drought for years and I depend on rainwater when in Kenya; I had to take a shower after each visit. But I wish Dave would bring it back as a nasty little playpen for those who now subject the grownups in the main forum to their vitriol.
