Actually Bravo and Kilted Arab are one of the few I remember from over at GR in great detail as I kinda got started late over there, and the reason I came over here after Sling extended an invitation via PM when times went south over there. I knew nothing about Shottalk at the time and figured if it was good enough for John and Richard it was probably better than I deserved.
I actually remember when I first came over was some transition period and while I believe I may have had different views at the time, they both indicated that all views were welcome. I actually think I may have rattled KA's cage at the time. Great thing about it is they both made me feel welcome. Both were as true a gentlemen as you would ever find in the face of obvious adversity at the time.
