Since I returned to AH, I've only seen Shawk type on ch 200 once. He was promising someone he had just vulched that he'd "let them up". Could just be a coincidence though, for all I know he gets his kills in the air combatting numerous foes.
I always considered Shawk a friend, even met him in real life, until I found out he thinks, "Steve is an a**hole."
Apparently, I was mistaken about the friend part.... bummer.
