Hey, Veral

[waksupi]

I'm from over in the Kalispell area, and have been aware of your work for quite a few years. This is a kind of chit chat type message, so don't worry about putting a lot of time into a response.

I wonder if you look at the cast bullets page above this one on Greybeards? It would probably drive you crazy trying to keep up with answering questions.

Is your thinking that if they don't know enough to come here, your saving your time and frustration?

I'm nt trying to be a smart ass or anything like that, just curious why this section is here, and your not moderating the regular cast page.

As far as cast goes, you da man!!

I'll toss out an answer to that for you and then Veral can add whatever he wishes.

Veral wanted to set up a question and answer format so he could answer questions one time for folks and everyone could see and benefit from that rather than him having to provide the same answer to hundreds of folks on hundreds of occasions. Gives him more shop time and less telephone or e-mail time.

He was thinking of adding this to his own web page hosted by another of my advertisers The Hanned Line. I suggested to Veral that we do it here on my Forums as a separate forum just for the single minded purpose of folks who have questions being able to ask them of Veral. As time passes then this forum will be a valuable resource to folks who want to know Veral's position on the many questions asked. It is searcheable so they can find answers given today even years from now.

Yes I could have asked him to Moderate the Cast Bullet Forum I suppose but it is a more general forum intended for general discussion on the topic where folks can share their ideas and thoughts on cast bullets and respond to each other.

This forum on the other hand has the single minded purpose of folks asking Veral questions and him responding. Others can toss in comments as they feel appropriate but Veral's responses to questions asked of him is the narrow and specific purpose of this forum.

Greybeard has spelled out the reasoning very precisely.
My belief is that this forum will in time be a very informative addition to the third edition of my book, Jacketed Performance with Cast Bullets.  I have picked up a lot of new information in the 13 years since writing it, but don't have the time to write a 4th edition now.  The solution, a forum!
