Ummm, guys... I AM grown up, and I've never had a chance to go to an
auction. Some of these auctions (I hear) you can get gold plated
halftracks for pennies. I don't know, I've never been to one.
I apprciate folks who have been there and done that setting me straight in
letting me know that the halftracks are paper mache and painted with gold
paint...

...but you don't have to be jerks about it...

How about the next time you're on the machinegun line trying to figure out
how to load that M2, I come up and, in front of everybody, loudly exclaim
my opinions that you are a rock, a stone, an idiot, instead of crouching
down on one knee and, without stressing you out, show you how to load the
gun?

Sorry if this is out of line, but you might want to see if you're out of
line too.

Correct me, don't berate me.

(Okay, I don't even care about the Humm-Vee auction, but I am getting
damned sick and tired of seeing the lack of mutual respect that seems to be
the norm in society in general.)

Semper Fi, Mac, let's get our bearing back,

Bill
