Johny, I too have been gone for some time...I think it's been about a year since my last posts...It sounds so disingenuous to simply write off my absence as "I've been busy"...but simply stated...I've had to many other things to do besides play around on my computer.
I have however stopped by to read from time to time, and it's my opinion that many of the newer posters have a decidedly "left" leaning slant on their replies.
It's good to see that Calhunter still takes the time to type out well thought out, deliberate responses.
Coastie is also one of my more favorite posters, although I tend to not see his name pop up too often.
There are several others that I tend to read, that have been around for some time that I tend to pay particular attention to.
At any rate, it's good to see you posting again, and perhaps we can find some issue to debate on in the near future...I've been hoping that I could find issue with something that some of the older members have posted on, just sowe could have a grand amiacable debate and show some of these newer knuckleheads how it's done.
