Re: 489 in Green

Right on, John -

"Profanity is the desperate attempt of a feeble mind to express itself forcefully." - author unknown
(Sounds like Churchill to me.)

I feel the same way about name-calling and personal insults - they are acts of desperation, and have no place on the NGDF.

If someone makes a factual error - like my erroneous presumption that the K-36's were delivered by Baldwin with the green jackets customary at the time - then correct the error(s) by posting the facts. And, IMHO, clearly state that your opinions are opinions and, IIRC, that your possibly incomplete memories are memories and not necessarily the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.*

"All we want is the facts, ma'am - just the facts."
DUMM-da-dum-dum ... DUMM-da-dum-dum-DUUUMMMMMM!
