Amen! The fraternal organization to which I belong has long prohibited discussion of partisan politics and sectarian religion--matters on which honest men may holddiffering opinions--because introducing them detracts from the primary mission of the organization, which is promoting fellowship and friendship, the antithesis ofwrangling.The purpose of the list (as I understand it) is to promote shared enjoyment of S scale, which introducing divisive topics deters. I am as guilty as almost anyone elsein occasionally introducing peripheral and extraneous chatter (I hope never for very long), but I try not to offer controversy when I do. Jace Kahn

I just made an Admin post stating that I wasn't going to worry about off-topic stuff in people's SIGNATURES. That did not mean that I was going to ignore POSTS that were off topic! Carey has had that line from the Bill of Rights in his signature on this list for years. That does not mean that it is open for discussion here. A quick search showed a half dozen Yahoo groups on various topics related to firearms and/or the 2nd Amendment. Any discussion of what you own or want to own and why you want to own it belongs THERE or in private email between like minded members, unless it is an S Scale train item. Any questions or comments pro or con should be directed to the moderators - off list. Pieter E.

Further, if I do this, the wife and I both will be taking safe handgun handling classes and she'll learn to shoot too. I want her to be able to defend herself and her property if I pull the pin before she does. (And statistics say I will.)

My great grandfather**? was a colonel in the PA Militia back in the 1770s and 80s. I was lucky enough to be the grandson**? who his rifle and pistol were passed down to. Still trying to figure out how to put that into the layout I am designing. Maybe a museum in his honor. Local legend has it that he was the inspiration for James Fenimore Cooper's book "The Spy". BTW, that tag has been on my mail since I joined the list and all my other signatures for over 20 years. Carey Probst Member, M.I.T.
