that turtle to Gene at the Tuesday night Get-Together as a joke...and it got a number of chuckles from several people (including myself) knowing the history of this particular battle. Someone just trying to make light of a situation, that's all. It wasn't like Gene was passing out voodoo dolls with "NM-1" on it or hanging a mock turtle in effigy that night. I personally don't care to see these kind of battles on this BB, but you can't avoid them sometimes. That stuffed turtle, to me, just represented a light-hearted poke -- at Gene, at Stu and at this battle. JMO Steve B
