Morris, you can save yourself a lot of time by ignoring anything that Gunner

refused a promotion to general." The Special Forces angle is a nice twist.

That was my conclusion, too. On the off chance that he might actually
have metalworking expertise (I have precious little), I won't ignore his
posts - but I won't necessarily keep quiet if my BS detector goes off.

I don't particularly mind revealing the identity of the ex-military type
on whose judgment /I/ most depend:

nor the fact that I, also, wore these:

but I have never been under the illusion that either made my judgment
any better than anyone else's.
