    Whoops! You're absolutely right General! See, that's why you're a General and I'm only a sergeant (at work). Thanks!

    Hi Senta,
    How many have I seen? Well, I have 147 John Wayne films in my collection, and I've seen all of them at least once, most more than that, plus a few dozen documentaries, TV shows, Specials, etc..., so not counting them, I'd have to say 147. My family says I need to get a life!
