I was going to clutter up the existing thread, but wanted to rather post this in a new thread....
The last few days has been somewhat "exciting" with all the e-mails, PMs and such I've received. I believe I've replied to all that have contacted me.
First - I want to apologize to all, on behalf of this Forum and its Members, to any person, Lee specifically by reference - in the unwelcoming manner in which a few chose to reply to your posts.
Frankly, we are a Forum of gentlemen and gentlewomen. Our first priority should be to welcome all new folks to this forum. Period.
For that, I re-wrote and put up a thread that was originally authored in 1998 and has seen the growth of another one of my firearm sites in good stead for over a decade:
Forum Decorum... I think it's appropriate for this forum as well as we evolve, grow and become a "community".
To Lee and and all, my thanks for reading - and again - my apologies.
John
