[see I found a portion of thread in which reference to a firearm did not have to occur, I used good language, didn't offend anyone...and gave an honest appraisel...didn't break any rules]

Sonny, if you would please give a little more detail on what annoys you by the rest of us gun site posters, I will be sure and not clutter up your IMPORTANT pontifications!
....you're not funny, I can't take it anymore....I must have complete control! There are plenty of mouths on any forum that have made tinkle on their computer in a sorry attempt to lay claim on an obviously public area.
Humans like to socialize and socialy engeneer thier environments.
Ill take the best and leave the rest.

"but a subtle form of assuming that the buyer "has not done his or her research"....."
I'm not certain I agree with that, Sonny.
I think a lot of it is based on someone's personal experiences with an individual piece of kit.
If they like it, they're necessarily going to be a homer for it.
They're postulating on what you should get based on THEIR experience, not saying you haven't done your homework.

Hey, I think the forum is like a bar where you bring your own drinks, talk or listen, and you don't have to worry about driving home afterwards. A place to learn, a place to BS, and a place to joke around a little or a lot.
Sometimes you can't find a place like that in the "real world"
I mostly "listen" and learn, posit an opinion once in a while, and throw in some humor here and there. The British would call me a "wag". God knows the world is a tough enough place - might as well lighten it up a little now and then.
Nothing anyone says bothers me unless they are making a personal attack on someone just because their opinions differ.

I do agree that when someone is merely asking a simple question, he may be looking for a simple answer. So, I'm with the earlier comment about stopping reading when one gets bored with a bunch of propundiating ( I know what propundiating is because I do it, all the time, I think now actually). Usually if I am seeking info and ask a question I am hoping for a solution and scan the answers and take what I need.
On the other hand, I have seen some simple questions take off into some of the more interesting discussion that I have had the pleasure of reading and thinking about, and even joining in from time to time. Sometimes humor edges in and that's even better.
On the other, other hand this is a forum that reaches thousands and gives one the opportunity of communication with people that one would never have met or talked with or be confronted with like or opposing ideas in a civilized fashion. What a stunning value that is. It's like reading the paper, but you get to talk back. With THR, most folks are actually intelligent and reasonable.
I for one am pleased to be a part of this forum, with all my warts and with all of yours as well.
Heck, just the other day I posted some blather on a thread about who's going to have the most posts, the fastest, and offered what I thought at the time was immensely humorous and tongue in cheek comments about Oleg not recognizing that I had posted 1400 threads by Christmas. Of course I had sipped about 10 fingers of really good scotch before I shared my wit and wisdom. I awoke the next day and remembered my nit wittery and with slowly increasing dread, checked to see the reaction to my baloney. It was not there......halleluliah......a moderator did not have a sense of humor ( or did and recognized my lack of it) and deleted it. Or....maybe I didn't hit enter......? Oh well...saved again.

I agree sonny and with this response I am not trying to advance my thread count. If I have something to add to a thread I will.

If: Someone asks for a recommendation on a gun, any gun (long gun, revolver, shotgun, whatever),
Then: within five posts, someone will recommend a Glock.

Actually, there's only two others (I haven't made up the other nine yet! ) They're in the TFL thread at the link in my post, but I'll reprint 'em here:

Yes those Rules need to be here. When things get caught up they should be in the links-at top of page. We just can't wait for the other 9

Sometimes people ask "To get to the highway, do I go North or South?"
Sometime the answer is "West".
And sometimes we just feel like saying "West".

To answer the original question about thread busters...
I figured they did it because they couldn't read the question.
As long as I'm here:
"Then: within five posts, someone will recommend a Glock."
Won't be me.
How 'bout them Redskins?
(I think you have to live with a 100 miles of D.C. to appreciate the tired humor in that phrase.)

No one's asked if the Glock is 9mm or 45.
