    I thought for a moment that you were addressing me with your patronising little comment, however, in view of the facts that I've been a BP shooter since the late 1960's, and a Whitworth rifle shooter since 1986, it is evident that you weren't.

    Was it mishandling black powder that fucked your sense of humour ?
    Apparently some moderators take themselves very, very seriously, and cannot abide posts such as:
    "If however you offer to moderate you may be a sanctimonious, unfunny pissflap to your heart's content."

    Some comments are allegedly "very very nasty and uncalled for."

    Probably. I'm really old to give a shit, but I can recognise condescension when I read it, especially after MY over-the-head attempt at humour in the thread.
