Hello there.
I come in peace.
I mean you no harm (all of you).
My name is JLB, and I have been a member since 2002, but just found the old bookmark.
I am kind of new to the internet forum thing, so take it easy on me.
What manner of creatures lurk here?

Welcome to THR
I think you will find that most of the posters here want the forum topics to be somewhat firearms related.Its not enforced 100% all of the time but for the most part it is.
This place is far from GT so mind your manners.You are missed over there by most.

Yeah, we do have rules. They are at the top right of the pages.
We do try to keep to the high road in words and deeds.
Humor is good...but bear in mind that a reader may not be privy to an in joke and cannot see the expression on the face of the writer.
Reading and heeding the rules; and getting acquainted with the general tone will go a long way toward having a long, informative and fun stay here.
We are sitting in a window, open to the world. At nearly all times there are lurkers looking at us. Some some out of curiosity. Some testing the waters. Some seeking information. Some with an agenda. We try to not throw too many goodies out for the rights banners to use against us.
Soap boxes are not just good for standin on and orating. Think I'll pull mine up by the fire and sit on it while enjoyin a little time on The High Road this mornin.
Howdy folks.

Welcome Jack, I have been following the soap opera over at GT and now that I've heard that Danimal got the boot I don't think I'll be visiting much more over there.
Yes it's Erics House and you had the class to admit that you were, admittedly for the first time in your life ;), "Wrong", but banning you and then apparently doing nothing to the Trolls that you confronted, I can't agree with.
Count me in with Ric and Danimal, GT has changed, and not in a way I agree with, I for one won't be back.
I'll be making an effort to get over to Titusville for IDPA once I get a holster rig for my new CZ.... I will be emailing you soon.

I don't know if this place will let me post news. It says "firearms or 2nd amendment" in the rules.
True, true, too true... but if its "Legal and Political" in nature there is a great forum one stop down from General (Firearm) Discussion, that allows a little looser leeway (at times) as long as its germain to either legal or political and, of course (it should go without saying) you stick to "The High Road".
Ya donwannbeupsettingtheapplecart (darnthatwildalaskaanyway) by...well, acting like a GT Rowdy, now do ya?
We've talked about quaffing favorite cereal malt beverages (AFTER SHOOTING SESSIONS) and sometimes ask for a prayer or two or whatnot but ya always want to throw in the oblique reference to Firearms related discussion. ROTL will steer ya straight in a heartbeat if ya even think of doing it (Frank Sinatra voice on) "MYYYYY WAAAAAY" (Frank Sinatra voice off).
Did Frank like to go shooting? I wonder. Probably. Even Elvis liked to blast a good TV set once in awhile whilst in Vegas. Frank liked to defend his honor. Maybe that would be a better topic for Strategies and Tactics :D

Sorry for the inside jokes, it is just great to see friends that were lost for a little while and have found a new home
It's funny, a lot of the new arrivals, the glock guys as you call them, do not even own glocks. I should have changed my handle a long time ago because I do not have a g22 anymore. I am becoming more of a revolver man myself.
I have been a member here since the beginning, but read more than I post. There is so much good knowledge here. Most of the time, when I am reading a thread and think of something to contribute, most of the time someone says it before I can post it myself.
I think your handle is great. How was the number6 dance anyhow?
number6
August 20, 2003, 09:50 PM
Stephen, thanks. But no apology neccessary. I actually found the posts amusing and interesting. Sort of got the feeling an invasion was happening, lol. And, it's great to see new members with new ideas and thoughts.
number6 = I originally registered under a different name (Heywood Jablome) that was unacceptable to the forum guidlines. Justin (a mod) was kind enough to delete my name and hand me this one as a temporary until I came up with a different handle. I decided to keep it because in truth I own 5 firearms, and my next one will be Number 6. :) And I like this one a lot better. Not so "in your face", if ya know what I mean! :D
El Tejon
August 20, 2003, 10:02 PM
Justin's one of the good guys, number6. Good to have you and all your ilk here. You'll fit in just fine.:)

August 20, 2003, 10:11 PM
El Tejon, thanks! And yes, I drew that conclusion about Justin when he emailed me and asked me to change it and to get back with him when I came up with a different name. He could have bounced me I suppose, or read me the riot act, but instead he was cool about it and I really appreciated it.
I look forward to learning as much as possible in here and becoming someone who hopefully can give advice to others that seek answers.
