Pete -

I agree with you. Every Luger has to be evaluated on its own merits. And if we don't learn about the "problem pieces" or the "iffy pieces", how will we learn. I probably have learned more by looking at one "not right" gun than by looking at 20 righteous guns.

Evaluations have to be factual, objective, and based on personal and/or verifiable knowledge. Not this "my cousin's uncle's wife's brother's ...".

Along the same lines, questions can be and should be posed in a non-acusatory manner. And remember, everyone makes mistakes some time, let's not jump to the conclusion that every mistake in word or deed is an attempt to defraud or discredit someone.

Other than that - enjoy the 4th. One Nation under God, by God.
