I don't always get it right every time, but I try to keep the forum on an even keel. A place where folks can come and discuss their hobby and not feel intimidated.

I have seen so many of these "shooter vs. collectible" discussions flare up into really ugly threads that perhaps my last post was a "knee-jerk" reaction.

I don't mean to imply that this is a forbidden topic, but unless we can provide some fresh prespective on this much hashed topic, it's the same ol', same ol'. And that invariably leads to "positions at fifty paces".

We've been arguing about our various relgious beliefs for thousands of years, and more lives have been lost in the name God than any other cause, and we haven't solved it yet.

I view these things in much the same light, and unless someone can bring some fresh thought provoking ideas to the table, backed by some imperical evidence, then I'm afraid what we have what we've always had - a good fight!

Feel free to present your ideas (I think some of Dwight's questions were unique and valid questions), answer them honestly, but don't let it degrade into a free for all, which generally starts by attacking another person's position.

Thanks,

Dok (Webmaster)
