Sky727 created a thread on killer drones, and it got a bit side-tracked on the topic of Appalachian Blood Feuds, specifically the Hatfield-McCoy Feud. This thread is an attempt to create a thread for that topic, and move the posts to here instead of gobbing up 727Sky's thread, since the drone thread really deserves a place of it's own, without the side discussion.
I'm going to try to move those posts to this thread to clean that one up, and give a place for the discussion to continue here.
If I can't get those posts moved here - and this is an experiment in the impossible - then this thread will disappear like a fart in a windstorm.
ETA: It seems to have worked, moving the posts to this thread, but had the untended consequence of putting this post, which was the original opening post of the thread, down here to the bottom of the thread, and making BIAD's post the OP of the thread, transferring creation of the thread to him. How odd.
Maybe one more try....
