RHC: Thank you Frank. I hope that she has gone to a better place. I do
know she is free of the pain. It might sound trite to say this, but
the vile, filthy cancer that killed her at least died with her...

I don't dislike Jim. I don't know him other than what I see here. I
try not to judge anyone harshly until I've "walked a mile in their
shoes". We disagree about some business related matters, but I don't
for a second doubt that he is as you say, since he has run a
successful business for quite a long time. But as a person, I have no
wish to ever meet him or know him in any real fashion. I doubt that we
would ever have much in common other than our common interest in
firearms. However, none of the above excuses his disgusting hatred;
that is something that he will have to live with. It doesn't affect me
in any real way, nor I suspect RLB either.

I have met RLB in person, and I count him as a friend, even though I
disagree with some of the things he posts.
