Bob,
Actually, I shouldn't have bothered posting, even though Eileen and I have killed close to 100 big game animals with no problems, using rifles considered too light by 95% of the posters on this thread.
A friend who occasionally posts here recently made the astute observation that he only reads the first page of any thread anymore, because 99% of the time everything meaningful has been said by that point.
I would add that if most threads go much longer than one page, it's because they're no longer an exchange of ideas but voting contests.
