OK folks...I give! 

A couple of points about my last (it would seem controversial) posting...

1.  I apologize to all our Special Forces and Biker friends.  I used a
	term that was inaccurate and demeaning to describe many of the
	people responsible for nurturing the sport into its present
	state.  

2.  As to the people who took exception to being a "Jeep owner" or wearing
	fancy sneakers (and you know who you are:-)...give me a break.  I 
	was trying to make a point about the difference in the first jumpers 
	we're seeing today verses 10 or
	15 years ago.  I was not passing judgment on them (Hell..*I* even own
	a Cherokee).

3.  Anyone else that wants to bend my pins can send me e-mail.  

(Geez...you make a guy feel like he went low on a hundred-way...)

Jerry
