Dear Listees

I have been a  member of this list now for less than a year. In that time I 
have seen some  almighty stushies (Scots word meaning rumpus or row) and 
debates as well as a  mountain of information and the forging of some great 
new  friendships.

However the recent postings on guns and arms has seriously  depressed and 
angered me, and if anything has come close to forcing me off the  list, it is 
this. I never thought I would see the day when I would be sharing  
correspondence with "hicks" and "rednecks" or NRA sycophants and  apologists.

Anne (Black) I salute you. Your simple, straightforward words  are my only 
comfort. :-(

Thank you Peter,
I do appreciate the compliment.
Please  know that in the USA not all "hicks" are NRA apologists, and not 
all NRA  apologists are "hicks". I simply detest guns and will not tolerate 
them near  me.
Beside that, please remember a saying I was told a long time ago: "the  
dogs bark, the train goes on"  :-)

And please do not leave the  List.
Thank you.
