: Hiya, Doc!  You have made a VERY good point here, regarding the King's English comments.  I can't take those kind of remarks very seriously coming from someone who uses such poor grammar in his posts..."then" for "than," etc.  Sorry, Robert, but YOUR own King's English seems a bit butchered to me. (But not to fear, I'd be happy to go over your errors with you, if you'd like an English lesson.  And others here on this board could do an even better job than I.)

: And if you really want to open up a discussion, to stimulate "closed minds," why do so in such an argumentative, nasty way?  Because you think that will make people more receptive to different perspectives?  WRONG, bucko!

: I say, take your Tarleton & begone.  I've seen enough historians go over the atrocities he DID commit to not worry one bit about the ones committed by a "look-alike" in a movie that acknowledges it is only loosely based on history.
