Thanks for responding to gloria. I couldn't. I was afraid to. (Hog sorting language would have taken over, and all the Sailors who are lurking here would have rushed away blushing)

Let's face it. If you're up in a hunting tower and someone points a gun at you and you shoot him. Do you really think you could make it down alive without shooting the rest of the hunting party?
Well, since my strongest language consists of an occasional use of the word 'heck,' it appears I was the right one to do it. :o)
