My advice, especially to CBW, would be to drop the matter and not sully a Civil War thread with the "judges" views on it.

CBW should put forth the views of a man who is thought to be, shall we say, light in the loafers.
News to me but, if you say so. (I guess it takes one to know one.....)

Sorry, don't know how to put a link in a post. I'm new here.
Buttercup, you're the guy who quoted him and introduced him into this thread. You really ought to drop the matter.
