Well done!

It appears we've got our own History Detectives!

I love that show, and if it wasn't for all the gossip I've heard through various people who oughta know, I'd kill to be one of their detectives.

Alas, I'm told there is a lot of infighting among the bunch (I've met Wes - seemed like a nice guy, but I've never worked with him), and a fair amount of snarky asshattery on his part, behind the scenes.

No thanks!

Since I don't hear the gossip, I still love the show.
