She strikes me as the epitome` of Para-antifangrrl as far as devotion to their product, but in my experience, what one hopes for is a neutral third party as an evaluator. <BR/><BR/>It's not as if she's been asked to shoot HK's or anything, folks. She likes the overall platform well enough, and most assuredly has scads of experience with Browning's Masterwork. I look forward to hearing what she thinks of this iteration of it. She might make a persuasive argument in favor of adapting a new tool.<BR/><BR/>Buckle up, have fun, be safe, act civilized.

It's just that what I've seen in comments around the blogosphere about what would happen if you won definitely did not give a fair shake to Para, and I do think the record should be straight on that. It's not really your comments that have startled me, it's been those of others. I don't think it's fair to taint them with an image that hasn't been deserved - at least as far as the contest and the outreach are concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-4419522100164594142008-07-07T19:46:00.000-04:002008-07-07T19:46:00.000-04:00Bitter,"Well, if they didn't email you, that would...Bitter,<BR/><BR/>"<I>Well, if they didn't email you, that would basically be fixing the contest.
