Nevertheless, due to Stephen's public position and this episode he is made a subject of derision. If Stephen were privy to similar information about you, it might be different. I still wouldn't like it, but at least it would be a fair fight.

Well Jim when we assume responsibilty we carry all the baggage that goes with it. Like being the real President. But, I'll try and keep my sarcastic remarks to myself. However if someone thinks he's going to play Oscar Wilde on me, I'll fire back in a heartbeat.

I would really enjoy it if you got that site up on the battlefield. Certainly the bravery and valor on both sides can be appreciated. You said that a lot of flaming went on before, it would seem to me that a site like that would be more settled. That history is established. Hooker certainly make some drastic and innovative changes in the AoP. I am very glad to see his reputation being reclaimed somewhat. His comments on the aeronautic corps were excellent and very funny. It's also a relief to see the supposed issue of his excessive drinking addressed. Ah those character flaws we have and don't have.. We'll have to run, me and some Coastie buds are in the local parade. Take Care.
