I do find that I go over there less than before. Funny how even "The High Road" is now getting less visits from me now as well. Of course, having just finished up a Disaster Relief deployment where I dropped into my cot at 2300 hours and then was rousted from same cot at or before 0430 hours tended to keep me off the interwebs last week.  |

I can see how that could take up some time... Still, you are not in the desert and there are no Camel Spiders around...  V/r Chuck I do find that I go over there less than before.

Still, you are not in the desert and there are no Camel Spiders around... Happily, the ugly things aren't even venomous. And they don't chase people, they chase your shadow. Our platoon resident bug expert said their scientific name means critter that flees from the sun, or something like that. They don't like the sun and seek shade - which is why they're always coming into the tents, your hooch, tarps you put up for shade, etc. Now the rats... rats must die. I heard of maybe two guys that got bit by either a camel spider or a scorpion, and I think they were messing around with them when they got bit. But the rats... they come crawling all over everything at night, and when they bite, it's off for all the shots you go. Only time we ever fixed bayonets overseas was to go after the rats in our bunkers, after we were told we weren't allowed to shoot them. |

It's sort of interesting that any "Where's Burgs?" thread is locked as soon as a mod sees it. Pretty draconian IMHO

I wasn't aware the thread was locked, but doing so makes sense really... Please let me make things clear... Burgs was not kicked out or banned... his decision to leave the board was entirely his and he left in good standing. He is like anyone else... he can join anytime he wants to. Discussing "where is Burgs" contributes nothing to the discussions regarding High Powers or shooting in general for that matter. Hopefully this will clear up any misunderstandings... Thanks Chuck It's sort of interesting that any "Where's Burgs?" thread is locked as soon as a mod sees it. Pretty draconian IMHO |

My post was not meant to cause any harm. I just noted at another site I still post on any question about what a moderator did was immediately locked in retaliation. I do not know of that response on any of the other sites I visit. Though I did get a week of time out on a cruise ship forum for making fun of a rather idiotic post. I learned, don't point out stupidity there, anyway most people can tell who's a few cans short of a six pack anyway. 😎😱

Hello cmdrcody, Hey, don't worry its all good!.. The day that burgs left the forum I sent him an PM asking him to please reconsider and stay. Suddenly, he deleted his own account. My post was not meant to cause any harm. I just noted at another site I still post on any question about what a moderator did was immediately locked in retaliation. I do not know of that response on any of the other sites I visit. Though I did get a week of time out on a cruise ship forum for making fun of a rather idiotic post. I learned, don't point out stupidity there, anyway most people can tell who's a few cans short of a six pack anyway. 😎😱 Like Chuck said, he is welcome to return anytime he decides to reactivate his account. Chuck, Jer and I have only one rule and that is to be nice....  None of us on the mod board want to turn this forum into a part time career. After a while, I can tell you personally that it gets "old" and that's why I stepped down as a mod on the H&A board. Back in those days we were locking threads, deleting posts, deleting trolls and monitoring posts for our "no politics" policy... It really gets old/fast. Thank you for joining us! And thanks to all of our members for their participation! Best, Chris |

I think that cmdrcody was talking about "the other place".

He may have been... but in any case no one is upset or angry... it was a question that would come up at some point... V/r Chuck I think that cmdrcody was talking about "the other place". |
