Dear Michael, You and I both know that the Jews fleeing the pogroms were unlikely to have been gunsmiths. If the DWM company was actively recruiting and training Jews, it's news to me. Also, both you and Albert seem to believe that the Germans of that period were incapable of making a mistake, don't forget they lost the war! Best regards, Norm

Norm, Jewish emigration from Russia encompassed all walks of life. Regardless of whom DWM was or wasn't recruiting, it remains that there were no Jewish monoglots between the fall of the Second Temple and the ascent of the Third International, and there was no shortage of linguistic knowledge for the Jewish-owned and largely Jewish-managed DWM to draw upon throughout its course of operations.

Regarding Albert: I view Albert as one peak of a sine curve...There will always be 2% of any given group/assemblage that are buttholes...If Albert is banned, then that eliminates his peak position on the curve, and someone else will move up and assume that position...They won't be as severe as Albert (or they would have been the peak) but that side of the curve will still have a peak...

The other side of the coin is true also...There will be Good Guys who [hopefully] will balance out the preponderance of buttholes...

In my short time here (six months or so) I have viewed Albert's posts purely as entertainment...His self-serving one-sided patronizing, pompous, and pretentious views and/or 'theories' are viewed by me as pure speculation...and as such, are moderately amusing, as well as an interesting insight into his thought processes...The scientific method does not apply in his world; Albert would be an excellent 'flat Earther'...

Hi Rich, Very interesting, but I'm afraid to ask which side of the x axis I'm at. Regards, Norm

Norm - It's pretty top-heavy right now; there's only 4 or 5 Forum members on the bottom side...I'm right in the middle, I think...

Did I read Ed's comment in the General Discussions Forum right??? Albert is banned at Still's Forum too??? Day-em!!!

Can't be all that many places left for him...
