I don't get it. I honestly don't. Even bird hunting. The only
saving
grace to bird hunting is the dogs are having a great time, they're
probably penned up the entire rest of the year. But freezing your
ass
off in a deer stand waiting on something to shoot at isn't my idea
of a
high time.

The Chicago Tribune did an article once about the four stages of a
hunter's life. During the first stage, they buy the best gun, best
camouflage, and best equipment and so forth. They shoot the limit
during
each season.

By the third stage, IIRC, they may or may not kill something.

By the time of the fourth stage, they may or may not take a gun
along.
If they do, chances are they won't even load it. They enjoy the walk
and
the experience. "Hunting" has become secondary.

IIRC, a sociologist observed this, and I had to laugh because most
hunters I've known for years have been exactly. They go out every
year
and come back talking about the bird species they saw!

I've told this story before on another group, but here goes again.
Humor me, it's a good story :-)
DH used to hunt, when we were young. Until he went dove-hunting once,
shot into a group and felled one bird. Doves mate for life. Another
bird, assumably the mate, flew to the ground to the dead bird, crouched
by it, and covered it with his/her wing.
Now there may be a scientific explanation for this behavior, but it was
enough he never hunted again.
I can see him being one of those guys who go "deer hunting" and don't
bother taking a gun.

I don't see why you and Lyn don't get along. You both sound like
extreme radical PETA types.

And they've certainly blown any chance of getting an invitation to
my Annual Bambi Barbeque next Fall.


hahaha!

Natural selection will take them down to sustainable levels (yes, I
know it's not pretty, but nothing dies easy). The problem with deer
is
easy access to crops.

My old boss was a deer hunter. We argued about this all the time. I
actually don't have much problem with people who hunt to eat. It's
the
only true way to be a carnivore, IMO. I just don't like the
*concept*
of hunting (among other things associated with it). And I have an
aversion to firearms.

Well that certainly is not an oversimplification.

It's a non-entity, imo. Ask your friend, CN. She's the one blathering
about all the Dale Carnegie courses she took and awards she won from
them on her resume posted on the internet for all the world to see.
But then I knew she was a little retro from her obsession with Mensa.
She should be on "That 70's show."

Hehe. Candace, that's not information that's easily found without at least
a little digging (I didn't mention it here and it wasn't on any direct links
I've ever posted here). *You're* the one becoming obsessed, dear. *I* sure
didn't bother to go rooting around the 'net like a pig looking for
information about the idiots determined to flame me here!.

My affiliation with Mensa was brought up by another poster here and I've
done nothing more than defend the organization against dolts who think it's
a *bad* thing (oh what a horrible organization to fund scholarships, help
gifted children, further education, fund research into the nature of
intelligence, aid international travelers, etc. wringing hands oh the
horror, the horror of it all!)

Now, after digging further, you've found out that *GASP* I've won awards in
a Dale Carnegie class - OHMYGAWD, I guess I'll have to slink off and hang my
head in shame!!!!

Poor baby, all that work rooting around to find something sleazy to pin on
me and that's all you could come up with! ROTFLMAO! If there's anything
else you'd like to know about my life just ask, sweetie!

You're pathetic!

No, CN, you most certainly *did* mention it here in the beloved thread
"OT: Free Time." You mentioned specifically whose website you are the
webmistress of and, although you didn't provide the link, a google
search yields the website in about .4 seconds. So, yeah, that was some
massive digging I did...I should be a private detective for rooting
that out. Once on that particular website (which I shall not mention
because I wouldn't want anyone as brilliant as me to be able to find
it), there are links to all your info.
You were bragging about your webmastery so I took that as an invitation
that you wanted your faithful readers to check it out. Obedient

No one thinks it's a bad thing; people were just amused that you are so

You pretty much miss every point, don't you? I just find it ironic
that you have won supposed awards for "How to Win Friends and Influence
People," when you so obviously lack those skills on usenet. Either you
are a lot different IRL or Dale Carnegie isn't all it's cracked up to
be (or used to be cracked up to be).

Sorry, but all that "work" took a total of about 6 minutes to find and
read. Thank you for thinking I'm such a hard worker, though. May I
use you as a reference?

You're pathetic!

Uh-huh, it took me far less time to find that than it does you to
decipher all those headers you're working on. I've looked up lots of
people's websites when they mention them, don't flatter yourself.

I didn't decipher any headers at all, I did a quick copy and paste so that
others would crow about how I compared unlike headers when I didn't even try
to compare them. Less than 2 seconds and it got me exactly what I wanted.

The scientific explanation is that they mate for life.

Swans can go into deep depressions when their mates die. It's pretty
sad. (Some of them probably get more depressed than some humans would .
. .)

Canadian Geese are the same way. Although, I believe, the males have
been known to stray from monogamy on occasion and often receive a
good pecking when they return to their "mate".
Deer, OTOH, have no morals whatsoever.


So you have personal experience with these loose deer, do you?

I didn't say you mentioned DC, I said you basically said what website
you are the webmistress of and 2 clicks on that website yielded the
info about DC. Not a superhuman effort required to do so.

And again, why would anyone bother to click on all those links about

I said you mentioned the website. I clicked on 2 links, soooo hard. I
click on links all the time, that's the beauty of the internet. Info
at a mouse click. I look up any number of people's websites who I
read on a newsgroup on a daily basis. It's natural to be curious about
a person whose posts you read ad neauseum.

I did it at work anyway, so I wasn't doing it on my own time, I was
taking a little break while "other things were running," you know how
that goes, I believe.

Well, *you* have pretty much missed the point that I'll only use

No, thanks, I know more than enough. I wasn't trying to come up with
something "sleazy." As I said, it's normal curiosity to read about
someone you experience on a newsgroup on a more than daily basis when
they blatantly give you a website to do so. It's not like I hired a
private eye to find out stuff about you. I went to the website and
clicked TWICE! Don't worry, though, I'm not crazy and will not hop on
a plane and come stalk you and your grandchildren.

Oh, I thought you said something about you were going to do some
further investigating to find the source of whatever it was you were
looking for, I can't even remember now. I've got a feeling you spend
quite a bit of time looking for info on the internet but that's what
it's there for if someone puts it out there, isn't it?
