In the eye (brain) of the beholder.

[muffett.2008]

A few phrases spring to mind when I'm reading some posts.........things like - It takes all kinds....., some mothers do have 'em, and even a few not so nice expletives.
It all reverts back to my own inability to suffer fools gladly.........blame the Army....parents, whoever, just don't blame me.
What's the point to this diatribe???? frustration?, old age or a combination of both?
Maybe I just need to take a big step back, wrap my laughing gear around a nice red and enjoy the fun while I still can................... ahh yes, that was it Lee Enfields

No, I haven't lost it, just making the point that us old hands need to remember that even though we have waded through the same inane questions and comments countless times before, there is always a new questioner with a new slant on something either not understood or not at the fingertips of the seeker.
There is always new information and new interpretations coming to light as technology allows us access to previously hidden files and information, and though we are not teachers as such, we are the ones new enquirers seek out for direction and information on what to them is a new and exciting discovery/adventure.

As new files and information come to light, our previously well thumbed texts take a beating, we have questioned Reynolds, Stratton and now, god forbid, Skennerton.
But rightly so, even those greats would know that there is a lot left to be learnt about these rifles, strewth, we haven't even started on the rest of life, all we are doing is getting stressed over a few firearms.
I'd offer this, let's just sit back, assist with what we know, research what we don't and let's see if the end result is a better understanding of the winning combination.
It could be worse, at least our history wasn't destroyed to the extent the losing teams was.
