Politics and pornography are designed by the devil- but Parkers and Purdeys- like Mozart- Amadeus- Loved by God-- Amen!!

. . . and just to be fair, there are still some good posts over there, particularly Drew Hause's study on Damascus barrels.

Thank you. Well said by you as well!

I was able to procure a couple of Husseys through Dave's site last summer.

It is a case of a few bad apples. One of the best transactions I have had is a 20 gauge Trojan I bought on there. Even in that deal, one of the troublemakers trashed that gun.

That's my biggest problem with the site. There are a handful of regulars who seem to feel it's there job to critique guns that are posted for sale. Their unsolicited opinions are what wreck the site. Dave has a thankless job but he would improve the forum if he would come down hard on the major nit-pickers.

That is why I KIND OF like the Lefever forums for sale section which is a no reply setup. But... then it eliminates the chance for questions. It is a good and bad type of thing. I know we discussed doing it here too. But I think it is overall best to leave the ability to reply. For Sale threads here do not often wander off course. And if they do, they are never negative in nature.

It should be no reply. If you have a question then pm or e-mail. That blocks the azz-holes who enjoy critiquing guns they have no interest in buying.

As for the two Husseys I bought through the site, I posted "WTB" for what I was looking for and both were easy deals.

The favorite gun/game pictures of the year are good too and the negative comments usually stay off those threads.

I am confident that the great majority of readers over there can evaluate idiots suffiently to make the site a pleasant experience. It has been a pleasant experience for me.
