Thanks for the post, Mike. Glad you like it here. 
 

I am drawing a blank here.  Who could you possibly be referring to?  Now until you mentioned a "rough start", I thought you might be referring to me, but that is clearly not the case.  I wonder....

There shall be no forgiveness until you buy another (non-Nikon) scope from SWFA.  At that point all sins will be forgiven.
