Brad, you must be a real dickhead to answer his question like that.

I used to do some X-country bushwacking with a guy that hated GPS units. I asked him that if he was such a "purist" with respect to navigation, why did'nt he toss the compass and find his way by the sun and stars. He declined my suggestion.
So, you see everybody has a line they will not cross.
Now back to the original question..... Apparently the orginal poster thought that Brad's answer had an air of editorial comment as well. I guess I am not the only one, eh?Brad Marshall wrote:
