Dude, you KNOW *I* understand, but the other side of the context is that
even if it is a police forum, and even if we're all packing DE's, that
doesn't mean that a Derringer won't kill you dead on the spot - it's not
if the tombstone says "Killed by DE" or "Killed by Derringer," it's that
you've got a tombstone at all...

What I walked away with from Ray's comment is that we could all be a bit
more tolerant of others coming to this forum where mixed vendors and
mixed technologies are concerned, and where our replies are "you're an
idiot for doing that" as opposed to "here's how you would go about doing
that, however, bear in mind that the basis for your goals (in our view)
may be flawed because of X,Y, and Z."

That's all.  But, let me get some brown liquor in me and I'll probably
be right on board with the rest of you crusty bastards ;)
