Hello.

I have been a member of the forum for a month now, though I don't post often. I received my CHL in November 2005 and carry regularly. I view myself as a one of the youngsters on this board (22 yrs old). I haven't begun to post regularly because I am still trying to read everything new each day and soak up the wealth of information provided by our older members. I joined the forum because of the quality of discussion on this board and the diversity of the opinions expressed here. I appreciate everything Charles has done to keep this forum professional and friendly. However, it pains me to see threads like this and the one that it originated from. I am in no way pointing the finger at anyone involved, I just find it unfortunate. Guys, out of respect for the other posters (especially Charles and the ladies on here), let this be the end of it. On this forum, as with anything in life, there will always be people whose views annoy or agitate you. It's OK. That's the beauty of this place. If everyone had the same ideas and always agreed, there would be no need for a place like this for friendly debate. I am thankful we don't all think alike as it allows us to learn from each other. I respect the views of every poster on this board, but there are a few posters that I truly look forward to their posts on each thread (Charles, txinvestigator, and longtooth). I believe these are good men and I value their opinions and insight.

I realize that differences of opinion can be frustrating, I just ask that we all respect the guidelines Charles has set forth and keep this forum clean and professional. Thanks and Goodnight all.
