Bob. Yes, but you and I where raised about the same day and age when your Mom would tell you when somebody offers you to eat or drink something even if you don't like it you smile and say thank you and drink or eat it.
I cant answer your question about 1F compared to 2F. I just about never use 1F. But I have used 1.5 and 2F Swiss and KIK and there is not enough difference the way the bullet reacts.
