BigBore577, I don't think your judge of character has suddenly gone a wry. There are a a bunch of great folks on this site. In my experience, this forum is unique. Occasionally, a member will consider one of my questions irrelevant, and respond with an answer that pretty much ignores it, but then the same person will go out of their way to be helpful with my next question. So they might discounting a given question, but not the person who asked it. The petty malice that exists on other forums is blissfully absent from HI. The people here are indeed kind, friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. Sorry to hear about mntgunr.
