Hi Rick....

Now, let's see - you want to know how to write and author concise notes, huh??? Well, you've come to the absolute expert on this subject, I assure you....

Now - let's say I was writing your "wild cat" post above - my "edited version" would have read something like this....

"Hi Esko,

I too have looked for alternatives for the 30 Luger brass. Haven't found a good one yet. I'll keep you posted if I do. In the meantime - Hugh has some good bullets."

Now - see the difference? While mine was "concise" - frankly - yours was a WHOLE LOT more interesting to read. Some might argue that your original post was even more informative then my edited version. So don't trade "content" for "conciseness" - I never do - just ask Frank..!!!!??? Heh, heh, heh.....

(BTW: Never take anything I write in jest seriously. It is hard enough to take ANYTHING I write seriously. I never take me seriously. Seriously.)
