I am the person who objected to your response to the other poster. It was uncalled for and rude. You apologised and it is over as far as I am concerned. I also shared my opinion that a forum like this becomes hard to use with lots of "stickies" preceding the posts. With the number of different guns discussed on this forum, if each generated a sticky then we would have to page thru several pages to get to the new posts. Since this is the first time in several years that I recall this particular gun discussed here I said that it wouldn't be of interest to most of those here. The rest is yours, Ed. I also said that I wished you hadn't decided to remove your post, that it would be available using the search function. I do appreciate your method for managing the faqs/stickes and am using that on the forums I moderate. It has been used on a couple of the other GBO forums prior to this, but I wasn't aware of it.
I don't moderate this forum. Gunnut 69 does, and he does a great job of it. It is up to him to decide how to manage the business here. I was expressing my opinion as a GBO member and a reader of this forum. Not as a moderator.
To the poster that thinks 90% of what is posted here is "useless blather" why would you waste your time reading it? Many of us appreciate the wisdom and experience of the mainstay posters here, gunsmiths who have worked on lots and lots of different guns and are willing to share with the rest of us. Nearly every day I am able to learn new things from this forum. And I didn't object in any way to the post, I just expressed my opinion about it becoming a sticky.
