Well, jcolon, maybe this was a major typo by Firehouse.com..... I suppose they will have to apologize to their readers and FFting community for this embarrassment of classifying LODDs without any basis for it.... who knows, maybe when I see LODD on the article section/masthead I'm just hallucinating....

Either way, here's a thought: maybe you could provide facts supporting your statement ; if you can, I'll edit my post, if not, maybe you could make a memorial contribution in the man's name.....
