I too have always appreciated Kevin's knowledge and contributions. Shrapnel is another perfect example. You're going to lambaste him because he shoots grouse out of trees with a pistol? What manner of dumb phugk does that?
I've never understood the mentality of some folks here on the Campfire. When someone knowledgeable is giving you information for free, why would you try to aggravate the contributor? I see it happen so much on this board, it's ridiculous. If you don't like what's being offered, you can either ignore it or present a valid argument.
