Oh, and Manboy, I have a little thought for you. Only fools who have nothing better to say, and know they have lost the argument call other people idiots. Attacking someone personally is not a way to be respected, especially on a discussion board that is only linked by a phone line. You have not personally met EKM, nor have you met most of the people on this board. You do not know their entire list of credentials on a specific subject. You do not know their entire background, or what they do for a living, or any of those key points that give a person his intelligence. I say leave the personal attacks at home, argue with someone, and back it by either facts or your opinion, but do not attack someone against their intelligence.

And BTW, I don't know EKM personally, but he has been a great help on many occasions, and I have crosschecked a few things to make sure it wasn't completely bull, which I would expect anyone to do with any advice they recieve on the internet. He has provided more details on certain things that I have previously not been able to find, which I have checked the other key points on, ie: Alaskan field dress, etc. And some tips he gave for tents have been awesome. There are other people on this board also that have been a great help, and who have given good tips, such as Bigbulls, 8mm-06, and Briman, regarding my Mauser.

You will learn things from people here on the BBS, but treat everyone with respect, even if you disagree, and leave the personal attacks at home, and the tips and tricks, and honesty will come a lot quicker.
