who are the "experts"? i thought ralph was? or is it kenyon? or is it mr. still?
point is brandon, ralph is the one that made the claim to begin with, but yet he seems to need you and others to defend that claim as you just did again. you're right though, he does not owe me an explanation, but it seems to me that with all the commotion, his silence on the issue is not helping matters and you and all of his storm troopers just make it worse. if ralph had not stood on the mountain top thumping his chest so loud before checking the thing out (with those "experts") we all would be back at the old forum. but he did not and now he sits back while we attack each other. all the while his website still proclaims his great "find". it would probably be wise to take that off his website, make an honest statement that "he", god forbide, might be wrong and that until the "experts" decide - this issue is closed.
but mr. shattuck has not done that. he has let this fester once again. perhaps it time the wizard came out from the curtain and addressed his followers. and others to stop chastising and harrasing innocent people who have questions about undocumented, one of a kind, never before seen or heard about lugers.
then again, that's just my opinion. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />
