My wife was talking to Dave tonight, getting my DGJ subscription, and he told her the server is down.

Noticed Homeless Joe is posting this morning. Site must be back in business.

Good Old Homeless Joe- he's to the Yee Olde Double Gun Shoppe website as Lou Costello and Bud Abbott and their immortal "Who's On First' routine is to Major League Baseball- good for a laugh, but not to be taken seriously. He called me once- on the phone he was "straight-up" but Boy Howdy- get him in front of a computer keyboard and "Sister Annie, don't you see the dust a-rising?""

Now that paid-up annual and Life members of our PGCA are allowed to sell Parkers through our website, and rules and decorum must be followed, thanks to our alert BOD and our first-rate webmaster- why then sit in the "cheap seats" when you can be on the 50 yard line.

It is my understanding that only Parkers can be offered for sale (as well as parts, and the new swap but not sell section). A friend has some "non-Parker" gun parts, and asked me to list them for him as a favor. I declined politely, as he is not a paid up member and it is my understand that ONLY Parkers can be listed- not M21's or LeFevers, etc. Clarification on that moot point would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey Francis!

Actually - any fine doubles can be listed, it's not a problem. I do draw the line at handguns (I run other collecting sites that I do allow them - but those are not this site..), and I also allow higher quality O/Us as well on this, the PGCA site... "Black Rifles" really don't fit in this site, however..

Anyway - I would appreciate that anything listed in the For Sale section be by the PGCA Member who has possession of the firearm, so that they can respond to questions directly... That being said, I've chatted with some Parker Dealers (who are also Members), and will allow them to post inventory on this site - AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT ALSO posted on an auction site, etc... In my world - like the old addage - "Membership does, indeed have it's privileges", and if a few Member/Dealers want to allow PGCA Members "first crack" at some Parkers before "public listing", that's fine...

Thanks for asking!

The Doublegun BBS still remains "down". Anybody know what is going (or not going) on over there?

- Pete- I heard from a reliable source that their server was 'fried" either by a virus or gremlins- no word from MC Dave Weber- so will treat this as speculation for now--

I'll tell you what, tho'....

If you run/host/admin any servers/websites - it's a LOUSY FEELING when something isn't working "just right". Server and system outages cause us heartburn, insomnia and temporary cases of ADD...

I feel Dave's pain - so, please - just be patient and I'm sure he'll get his site squared away... I'm quite sure the best thing for anyone to do is to let Dave know we'll be right back on the doublegun site when it goes "lights on", and reassure him that we know it's not his fault..

To Dave - if you are reading this - feel free to use this Forum to post any site updates regarding your forum, OK??

Best to all..!
