   Yes, I have and I do remember that thread. Steve has a lot of information   
   at his fingertips and if I had to choose between his knowledge and Time-Life   
   books, I'd take Steve without hesitation. He ain't perfect, but who is?   
   We've got several folks on here who know a lot about areas of the Old West.   
   Gerald, for example. Then there's that guy who changes names every month!   
   :-) He has a lot of information at his disposal, too. There are more,   
   several more, who know a lot more than I. That's why I keep reading and   
   learning, I suppose. Hope that guy who believes in that series without   
   question doesn't buy any stock that way! He'd be in trouble.
