yes, I agree, the first couple of comments are fine and the original poster replied, but then it seemed that Alvin went off on a huge tangent.
I don't expect folks to always keep on target, but Alvin, you go off target a lot. Like Don said, trying to be analytical on an issue you don't know. I know you know a lot more than me Alvin, but this ''bowie'' knife issue is a good example. The difference between a 150 yr old bowie and one bought on ebay as a cheap copy is night and day.
BUT, I sometimes think you are just screwing with people...
