    The 2 guys I miss the most are John R. and Goo. John R. had lived a life of incredible adventure and I loved reading his posts. Goo was in a league of his own. He wrote things that most of us agreed with but were afraid to say. He also had a fabulous sense of humor. He would not be allowed on this forum under the rules that now apply.


    You got that Right!

    Family mostly.

    I'd note, "Telling it like it is", and complaining about people that share an opposing view is an amusing contradiction. People like Goo and Kepler would give as good as they got...but if they complained about it like the present wing of the OFC, it didn't show.

    I think most people just straight up died.

    I miss how it was with the first Jouster. Good arguments back then.
    I recall one I had with someone who said any and all rifles made prior
    to Mauser's introduction of the third safety lug were dangerous as the
    bolt could fly out and into your skull. I asked if all the Germans who
    were killed in WW1 died from killer bolts. Jouster 2 in contrast has
    become boring, consisting mostly of news stories copied and pasted
    here and having nothing to do with the 2nd or politics.
    I'll open a thread on a subject I think might be interesting and I'm
    lucky if anyone other than Roadtrax and Togor replies. And usually
    Togor will change the subject. It's frustrating to say the least.
    I'm beginning to suspect I'm insane or stupid - probably both.

    Irony, or just pulling our leg?

    I do miss Goo. He was always interesing, both about firearms and about other subjects as well. As you say, RIP

    There was also John Sukey who passed away a couple of years ago and who was always interesting

    By the way, from my perspective, 70 is starting to look young

    Having said all that, reading this website is part of my daily routine and as insane as it may sound, I do enjoy the catfighting. Shows that we are all still alive and kicking

    I noticed that John Kepler passed away on August 4 of 2020. He was full of knowledge about high power shooting and SCCA racing. Will be missed.

    Thanks for spilling my coffee, I was taking a sip when I read your statement...quite good and to the point.
