I'll take your statements at face value and pass them on to my friend.

However, even if more photos are posted ( and there is a wonderful new old $200 grade lifter ) looks like there is a problem with the backdrops used to bring out gun details:

" Bruce and his sycophants seem fascinated by towels....."
Destry Hoffard

Not recalling exactly what a sycophant is, I checked:

" a servile self-seeking flatterer"

and related: " bootlicker, brownnoser, flunky, suck-up...."

Merriam-Webster

Bruce,

I don't care if a discarded bath towel or a piece of shag carpet is used for a background, I would like the gun no matter what it was sitting on!!!

Chris Lien seems amused by the insults. Chris, post photos of your Parker collection so that others may comment.

Chris and I are working on a photo display for the future. :cool:

Someone needs to apologize to col. Day and Mr. Herzog.

Robert, you have the same problem Bruce Day does. When either of you have a problem with someone, you don't specify whom the heck it is that is the offender. If we're going to accuse two members out of 1200, we have to name names. Who exactly needs to apologize to Bruce Day or Charlie Herzog?

I would think that would be obvious. I don't want to call anyone out but the tone of Mr. Hoffard's reply was offensive. I don't know if he meant it to be taken that way but using the word "sycophants" is usually not complimentary.

Bill, since you've asked . . . Have you ever used the derogatory terminology "Checkbook Bruce", when referring to Bruce?

That I admit. However, I don't think that mine is the apology he is looking for. I have a feeling that Bruce has taken the "Checkbook Bruce" jab with good humor. It was meant that way. He knows that my approach to collecting is more down and dirty, which is different from the approach some others use.
