I too want to commend Sproulman for making an attempt to see what he can learn. Even though we have disagreed on some things, (well ok many things),

I still find him to be an honorable person willing to at least be fair in his evaluations of the way he sees things.
I just hope he goes with the objectively to perhaps see things with both an open eye and open mind toward the thought that perhaps those old ideals he holds might not be entirely correct. I have seen that he is not entirely wrong, about some things, and I hope he isn’t too closed minded to see there is always more to learn about the inter-actions of wildlife, habitat and nature; even for us old dogs.
