I do see the big picture. You jump up and down when someone uses something of yours without credit and then you thrive on copying someone elses information with total lack of credit.
Ed's rule No. 1..... Ok for me but no one else.
You jump up and down about racism but you are quite OK with slighting Afro-Americans as "Blacks"
Apply Ed's rule No.1 again.
Hmmmm See a pattern here.
We, and you, would not have the manuals if some else hadn't written them but good on you for tracking them down. Well done.
Ungrateful people, nose thumbing, trivialization.... It's just your perception Ed, (It is Ed isn't it) I haven't seen any of it in any posts as such but you do seem to be able to see things that others don't see. "The Omnipotent eye"
People not liking the manuals is again just your perception Ed. Again, as above.
As for America being a "Strange Land", I wouldn't know for sure. Never been there but would like to one day. Wouldn't believe to much I see on TV and I would suggest that you shouldn't rely on "Quigely Down Under" as your reference on
Australia

(Not sure of the name spelling. Help me out here Ed.)
Been a lot of other places though. Hell, if I get to Harrisburg, (a place named after long lost relos) It's my shout Ed.
(Just come as Ed though. SCM might be a bit much).
So you want to start at Dutch, that's OK. Go ahead and acknowledge all the hard work and effort put in by those originally producing the Manuals so that you could be able to cut and paste them here today.
Raining here Ed. Cold and crappy outside.
Thank God for the Internet. (Or whom ever deserves just credit for inventing it)

Hey... As a little side note, Elle would not be happy being associated with anything gun related. Hope you don't ever run into her in person.
