Frankly, I do understand that but to be honest, I don't see that as your motivation. I think you are nursing that cobb and this has more to do with your disdain than defending sabotloader. For one thing, sabotloader and hisintegrityisn't under attack.

I don't feel I can rely on his basalt pit experiements with PBs. I do feel I can rely on the experience of the many successful hunters who use them. Personal experience and successful use goes along way me on this issue. You made the "trust" part a personal thing, I didn't.

When you bring in things like, "might have just as well called him a liar or idiot", you bring things which are neither appropriate for discussion, nor beneficial to the underlying topic ofsuccessful recovery of game. What it becomes then is character bashing and has no place here.
