Who do you miss?

Don't forget Rick the Librarian and his Afghans. Harsh contrast to his rifle pictures.

Yes, I still watch for his "book sale" listings. I've bought quite a few books from him over the years (decades?!?), often interesting titles I've not found elsewhere.

I might as well add my 2 cents in here. I have not been around here as long as most of you. On the other hand, I read considerable more than I post. However, many of the names you fellows mentioned I have maintained contact with via personal E Mail. When I would find the opportunity open to ask why they no longer post here it seems I would always get the same answer. They did not mind the argumentative atmosphere about a firearms history or others like subject manner. The reason they left was the "personal attacks" and the name calling. That is the reason they are no longer here. How far do I go back on this site, I remember a fellow called Ronyo.

I was thinking he called himself Ronjo. I believe he was from the eastern side of Washington State.

I don't see many arguments on the firearms section but only on the political one...and I never saw a serious one there. As on that forum it's expected expected people will have differing opinions...

John,
please reach out to them and let them know they are free to contact me directly (via PM or email in profile) if they want to discuss any past transgressions,

I would be happy to look into any issues and work towards correcting them
