For me it's time to please move on and get back to Lincoln studies.

Gene - I am very happy to move on (but backwards). I say backwards because the military actions, decisions, trials, misdeeds -- whatever you want to call them -- were just as rampant in the American Civil War as what we have been arguing about today. Funny how war changes things, but still stays the same.
