If someone likes or dislikes a post or agrees/disagrees with a statement they should be put to the effort of stating why.  Clapping seals are everywhere, including here sometimes, but making an actual assertion puts that view on the table and gives the rest of us something to work with.

Well if you really like something you could do one of these.

Yes. Tom has tried. Apparently a more expensive software package is needed. We can bring back the karma button but with 'good karma' comes 'bad karma' as well. We don't need that nonsense.

Hi Kirk, IMO all comments good or bad are welcome. What is not welcome or appreciated are the lurkers that don't contribute to this forum.

Regards,

Ouch.

On this and another forum I lurk a heckuva lot more than I post. I'm far from an expert, so I'm often reluctant to pollute threads that are full of useful information.

Such as this one, for example.

(Btw, those are some gorgeous revolvers. Now I feel compelled to step up my game.)

That's right Mike. More than once IIRC.

As said, we looked into it. More than once. In fact, IIRC Smokey investigated the possibilities as well.

Don't lurk...it just sounds 'wrong'. Sounds like some weirdo in the park with a trench coat!LOL!
Don't worry about polluting threads, either. Conversation is what we need here, Tinhorn. Everyone has varying opinions, right or wrong, good or bad. People are also afraid of asking 'dumb questions'. There are none. We all started out not having a clue and have learned along the way. Please feel free to add your two cents and ask questions you don't know answers to.
One thing I've learned from other forums is how NOT to treat other members, and we expect everyone to feel comfortable and at home here, not under attack by the reigning forum gurus as on other sites.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled program.

Yeah we need fresh blood. Answering questions is what we do best. Most of us have been around for so long we have nothing to talk about unless one of us gets something new. I haven't posted any more on my Kibler build because I haven't done much. I ordered some stuff to help smooth and polish the brass. It took several days to get here and did not meet my expectations.

If we had a LIKE button I would like this!

On one forum I got on, the admins were the worst trolls. This forum is among the best. There is as much support here as you'll find anywhere, and more than most..

So, I have only been on forums for approximately 2.5 years. Before I joined any forum i poked around to see what was going on in a few different forums so I could learn more about my new found hobby. Was that lurking? If so, then I'm guilty of lurking. I dunno. Just another way of looking at it?

What I consider a lurker is somebody that just comes in and soaks up knowledge and never gives anything back.

Hawg, thanks. That makes sense. I was initially just testing the waters before i joined any of them. I knew zilch about bp then and I still have much to learn. Thanks to all for their willingness to share their knowledge on this forum.

You came and watched until you got familiar with it and now you're a mod.
