[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2891984, member: 10465"] Yes, it is the [I]people[/I] who make the community. There's some examples right here above this post; I have never met 3 of the 4 members who have so far responded to this thread; the other I have done a couple of good deals with and shot with at the range too. Yet, because we have participated and contributed to discussions here, and not always been in agreement I might add, (I apologize again to tRidiot for misinterpreting a post he made some time back which caused me to "open mouth before engaging brain") I would feel comfortable in dealing with any of you in person or by mail. If it weren't for the old sense of community we had back in the day when the classifieds were run the way they were for example, I would never have met so many new people and got to shoot so many different guns! I recall one transaction I had with a member who said something to the effect "I buy trade and sell like crazy here; it's the best way I can try so many different guns out" - I got a kick out of that. It's not that way anymore. I had a family emergency a year or so back and needed blood donations; the response from the membership was great. Is there something we can do to make it more the way it used to be or is it just the natural progression of things? [/QUOTE]
