Congratulations Guys!

This is by far one of the friendliest sites/forums I have ever had the pleasure of being a member of.

YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY ALL OF THE TIME, ALL I KNOW IS THAT I LIKE IT HERE.

FORTUEATELY, THE HANDGUN HUNTERS INTERNATIONAL FORUM HAS GAINED MEMBERS AND, AS USUAL DURING HUNTING SEASON, ACTIVITY AND POSTS HAVE INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. I LIKE IT THERE TOO.

I haven't put my underwear on backwards in quite a while, I'm in !

Both the Ruger Forum & this forum are my daily visiting places.

Yes,, there are many on the Ruger Forum that wouldn't "fit" here. But in general,, they are a good bunch. I saw that post about the elite site & actually didn't think he was talking about this place. I wondered who he was talking about.

This place is mostly focused upon handgunning,, and especially SA handguns. But we aren't elitists or disdain others. Why? Because most of us, while we prefer our SA handguns,, I seriously doubt any of us own ONLY SA handguns. We too have a diverse accoutrement of all kinds of firearms. But the biggest difference I see between the two places is how the people act,, BECAUSE of our respect for Lee,, and how we know; "It's his house,, his rules." It WAS that way over on the Ruger Forum until we lost Carl,, (aka; FlatGate.) After Carl passed along the ownership, followed by his untimely passing,, the owner was not public about it. And it's been transferred a few more times,, and now the ownership is "hidden" behind internet "handles" and "administration" types.
As such,, it lost it's unique personality,, that this place enjoys.
Thanks Lee!!!!!!

So,, if I'm considered to be an elitist,, because I enjoy the good folks here,, then I'll humbly accept my lowly position and smile. Because I truly do appreciate the good folks here.

[squawberryman]

I'll be speaking at one today, pass granted.

[bigbore5]

Sorry to hear about y'all's loss. But people usually ask me not to speak at funerals, weddings, or any other polite gatherings.

[squawberryman]

I know where she is, I know where I'm going. Nothing but good things to say about that.

Gee I passed 91 so I hung up tie, jacket, dress shoes, pants (have a pair all paint splattered) about 25 years
ago. Closest I have to a dress shirt is the one remaining Pendleton (which I could expect most years at Xmas by my mother-in-law). The only tag I see missing is "crotchety old phart" Have a nice day Don K

Me elitist? Hardly, though I am working steadily toward Curmudgeon with a dash of Luddite thrown in for good measure.
