I just want to pause for a moment of appreciation for the internet. Seriously.
Last week, I needed to know how to break down a pistol that I don't shoot often. It'd been so long since I field stripped it, I forgot how. YouTube Video search = Instant info.
And yesterday the vendor contacted me to tell me that the throwing knives I ordered had shipped. Wham! YouTube Video search = tons of videos demonstrating how to throw knives.
30 years ago...you might have found one book on it in the Library, if you were lucky.
(And lest I forget, I found the exact knives I wanted and was able to procure them only because of the internet—not many stores in my area carry a selection of good throwing knives!)
Life is GOOD in the Digital Age.
Now we just have to keep the government from taking control of it...."for our own good!"

The Internet is another facet of true Freedom in many ways.That's why the Control Freaks hate it.I know a handful of older duffers who,when the subject of computers comes up,they STILL "pish-posh" the idea,yet these jerks come to me to get various info that is only available quick-time on the 'Net. I pray to God I don't become an insufferable pontificating hypocrite in my dotage like them...
