Richard --

Thanks for this bit of insight. Never would I have imagined that my posts would lead anyone think that of me!

Asking direct questions usually helps to determine what the facts of a matter really are. Mr. Bradley's responses to my inquiries on the casualty question were direct, informative and helpful. I learned something about Chickamauga as a result.

Anyone of us can learn by asking questions, especially when the people who respond have invested time and effort on it and really know their subject. Quite a number of the people who post on this board belong in that category.

My apologies for confusing or misleading anyone. I'll review my posts to see how that might have happened.
