Diane:
I agree . . . some of the info/photos on the "Indian Board" is amazing . . . and no nastiness. Some of the posters there are quite knowledge about the geneology of Indians and I always take time to read and look . . .

Well, I have been absent from this whole thing because I was trying to more pay attention to the more relevant historical subjects--but I must say this topic has been crazy fun. Fortunately I have not been around long enough to butt heads with our confrontational (wow, are they!!) twins. But now that the truth is revealed and for the sake of cutting the static in half, but not unfairly banning those who are merely pains in the neck, if I could still vote I would vote to ban one of them and leave the other on. Since they both think alike and are equally confrontational, whatever they have to say could still come here--but they'd just have to work together on it...and we'd get only half the confrontation. This way there would maybe be only half as many new topics on the same theme. My only question is how can anyone totally worship someone (Custer) so much--like a cult...it ain't healthy.

I'm glad you were entertained. I'm always concerned that such flare-ups will drive people away, especially our new members.
The Evil Twins appear to be gone, but they have left before and returned. We'll just have to wait and see.

Maybe they are on another tour of America . . . or they will return as two "new" characters . . .
I will say they are knowledgable and forced me to go back to my books for references to despute many of their posts. We can't change someone's opinion of Custer or Native Americans but we can point out the descrepencies in much of the testimony and show that there are holes everywhere with no one really knowing what actually took place . . . we can only use our best guesses and/or opinions on what took place.

Crzhrs--
I'm certain they're out getting some ammunition ... and I cringe to see CSS "teaming up" with another pontificator of the conspiracy theory; things could get very nuts. But you are absolutely correct; those two know their stuff and they had me running to the books if just to prove them wrong. On the infamous and overplayed "Custer's Watch" thread, Billy posted a cartoon by Bill Maudlin: I'm wondering if someone can mock it up with a copy of To Hell With Honor[/b] instead of the Jeep?
I swear, those two almost had me setting fire to that thing! Leyton McLean

Or been smokin' something for too long . . .
Maybe we should wait for them before we start poking fun behind their backs . . . it's a lot more fun saying it directly to them!!!

Crazy,
You will soon reach a new level of expertise. I hope the boys are lurking here so that they can see you go beyond Grand Expert!

I think the word "expertise" is used a little too easily (but I will accept it, thank you)

Well, if ya don't like "expertise", how about "Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler"?

And on that note . . . that's all folks . . . I'm leaving work and heading for the weekend.
Have a good one all!

Uhh ... has anybody else noticed that this is CSS' birthday (April 24th)? Perhaps we should start a pool on his exact age.
