Hi -
I went to that Pernell Roberts board that Chester suggested and couldn't believe the word fighting going on there. I know from looking at the posts here on the John Wayne Message Board that there are discussions from time to time, but nothing like the acrimony and hatefulness going on there. This board is certainly much more user-friendly and that is probably one of the reasons why the membership seems to be growing by leaps and bounds.

You can say that again. I recently quit posting on a Bonanza message board because of the in-fighting between the "Little Joe" and "Adam" factions. The majority of posters are middle-aged women who still coo over Pernell Robert's eyelashes and Michael Landon's smile. It was getting to be like I was reading a 40 year old copy of "Tiger Beat." Funny how so many women go goo-goo over most TV westerns, but these same women steer clear of the Duke and most of the other movie western stars. I guess it's because (IMO) the shows are more like a soap opera and there are lots of "cute guys" to watch, whereas Duke, being "Feo, Fuerte y Formal", just doesn't appeal to MOST women. IMO, of course.
