Sometime back, this was covered pretty deeply by the gun writers on the board. Seems Mr. Seifried was insulting, insubordinate and just generally a pain in the butt in the office or at any social function. Muledeer and several others went to great lengths to point out the reasons why it was necessary to fire him; made sense to me.

That said, my Wolfe subscriptions are now just winding down. As an earlier poster stated, I'm tired of Cowboys In Africa. I've been tired of Claire Reese since the 70's and any one who honestly thinks Mike (AKA Duke.. deliver me) Ventorino is a suitable substitute for a gun writer is either dreaming or trying to keep payroll down.
