Glad to have you on board, Old Frenchy! (you aren't the guy that invented French's Mustard, by chance? No? Hmm...too bad!)
Anyway glad you found your way here and hope you will call it your new home. As for them other forums, bah. Who needs them?
As to your mentioning "cap-sucking Colts"...it has indeed been discussed at great length here, with various and sundry "fixes" ranging from changing nipples (cones) to filling in the hammer grooves with all sorts of things imaginable ranging from JB Weld, to epoxy, to silver solder. My personal opinion is that the only "real" fix is installing both a cap rake and an action shield. Mine were done by Mike Brackett (45 Dragoon) of Goon's Gun Works fame (a very active member here) and they perform flawlessly. If you are interested I can fill in more details.
As far as the humor goes, well...we can't help ourselves. It goes with the territory.
Again, a warm welcome and hope to see much participation from you in the near future!
