[Non-Sequitur]

Now, now, Walt. Can't you just take the high ground in this, secure in the knowledge that our's was the noble cause? They're stuck believing the south was right. Why kick them when they're down? Be nice, be generous, President Lincoln would have. When you're ready to deliver a zinger just stop and ask yourself WWLD? What Would Lincoln Do? In most cases he would be generous. With a few, a very few, other posters he would smite them with his rightous anger. Be judicious in you use of smite, Walt. That's all I ask.

Lincoln's papers do include one letter to General Meade, I think, where he denies clemency to three repeat deserters who were then shot.
