I'm with you SBLS. I have never been a fan of Stern or Idol. I do think the two are made for each other though.

It's like washing down a poo sandwich with a glass of pee!

StratShooter -- There was no offense even slightly perceived from you. If my response offended you, then maybe it should be me apologizing. Actually, I meant my explanatory response in a light-hearted manner. Obviously, it did not come off that way, and - in the future - I will strive for better. I make a point of not getting torqued over forum conversation. God speed, dude.
