["That being said pls don’t pick on guys like JKOP for their forthright statements and views."]... could you clarify that statement for me?  Perhaps I have just simply read too much into it, but it seems to be an effort to limit open and honest discussion.  It seems to be saying... if your opinion is different from "guys like JKOP"... don't post a rebuttal.   Hopefully you meant to say don't attack someone personally for their views, be they pro or con... of which I fully agree.   However, I think this board benefits from the diversity of views, opinions, and positions, and would hope that concept continues.
