"One of the reasons there are so few stages left, either coaches or 'Celerities,' as the stage-wagons were called, was the B Westerns of the 20s, 30s, 40s, & early 50s. Abt 4 out of every 10 of those films had a stagecoach wreck…"

Research .. and aid or a distraction .. ??
I have noticed since being here on the site that a great deal of store is seemingly set on research and more interestingly .. sources; Lets face it I got booted from a group because for one I hadnt written enough for them and for two hadnt according to them researched, my greater crime apparently being though that I had not (and do not) quoted my sources.
Research is how we find out about things it is true, but how many times, especially maybe when starting out new in something have… Continue

I don't go as far back as Gayle so I have not seen the positive side of a certain member. Although he throws out references most of his posts have a personal attack in them. If he is responding to your comments move on past him and read what others have to say.

- I read that Dirt kicked you off his friends list, I would be happy to add you as a friend. BTW the "Wild Bunch" is a group I will stay away from.

Please except my apology for the brit crack. I do not discriminate nor incriminate if I can help it. After your post I went back and reread my post. I did not mean it to sound that way. So I removed that post from the site. I do appreciate what you guys have to deal with on your side of the creek. If we dont watch it over here we will be in the same boat. Sorry I guess my Apache side slipped out. I still disagree but I should not have stated it in that manner.
