I really wasn't trying to defend Ken, as I am really struggling to find anything offensive about his remark. My point was more to help you see that Ken was trying to be humorous, not taking time out of his day to offend. As for my meme ... Sgt Hulka was the first thing to come to mind, and seemed the most fitting for the situation. I even took a minute to ponder, "Will Sgt Hulka be offensive?". But the Sergeant too is humorous, in case that needs pointed out. We're all probably a bit of tree hugger by the nature of our common hobby - maybe some more than others. And maybe Ken is a Chevy guy; I'm OK with that. And those darn Pagans ... well don't even get me started on them (humor again). My point here is sometimes humor does not convey well in the written medium, but sometimes people are too ready to be offended. So I've said all this at the risk, of course, of further offending; which Jodi tells me I will likely have done. So I will apologize now for anybody who may take offense. Bob, I love you man. And Ken, I love you too man. And this reminds me of another famous quote ...
