If I would have read your log as it now stands, I would have never posted 
my first message.  It is much clearer now that you were close to the 
gunfire and the possibility of getting shot was there.  It simply didn't 
say that at first, and to come across with a message that you jus about got 
shot didn't seem warranted in that light.  It is different with the clearer 
picture in the logs.

Now you are the one being insulting.  Yes, "hunkered down" means something, 
it means hunkering down.  It doesn't mean  that gunfire was close.  Saying 
that the gunfire was close means that the gunfire was close.

Please remember that this is a 2D medium that we are communicating in, and 
words mean things.  Humor and sarcasm don't translate well in e-mail.

Again, I don't believe that I ever called you a name, but if you perceived 
it that way, I am sorry, it wasn't meant as such.

Again, now that you have told more of the story, the facts are becoming 
more and more clear, it just wasn't the case at first.

It would be tragic if someone got shot at any cache.  We spent the entire 
day in the Redington Pass area yesterday.  That area is very popular with 
target shooters, and we heard gunshots everywhere we went.  I never felt 
that I was about to get shot, but I never heard the bullets hit a building 
next to me.  That would have been a different matter entirely.

Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.


In liberty,

Scott
