No Ken, I believe Stick knows his stuff about guns, cameras , and logging . But everybody has areas of expertise and just because he knows a lot about a small range of issues doesn't make him a great guy.
Recognizing 'stick positively is like trying to find something good about cancer. I suppose you could always say "since I got cancer I've lost some weight "...
As an aside I met a fellow tonight at work who has some 10 weeks or so to live as cancer is killing him, he has only a couple of teeth left, his legs and feet are crippled to the point of painful to look at, and his arms are missing a lot of muscle and have recently had serious surgery. The man has a cheerful outlook and is wandering about the country in a van with his small dog as company.
