Been gone for some time, mostly, for some of the same reasons others have commented on.
I have a new user name and password, so hopefully I can join the gang with posts and comments.
I have to say that I have said this same statement many times through the years, that every time I think I have read the best of L'Amour, here comes another sleeper, 'The Man from the Broken Hills'...I thought I solved the mystery in closing pages, but was I ever wrong.
