Mauser "2-digit"?

I've been on this forum for a few years and I have noticed a clear pattern and profile for idiots like this last one on every forum I visit. Generally from post number one you can tell that they will soon flame out. They start out nice, then get weird, then get arrogant, and then finally throw a tantrum and get banned. One of my other interests is restoring and racing old cars (British) and I was once the sole moderator/admin of a forum related to such. Note "was". When the forum members aren't civilized, it completely strips the fun out of the hobby.

I just want to say thanks to the admins and moderators. You do a good job of establishing and being consistent with the rules. While I'm at it, thanks also to picture posters, guys that sell things, guys that tell the good stories, and the regulators that call out idiots. I come here to mostly gawk at Lugers, but also because it kind of reminds me of spending time with my departed Grandfather (no offense to the old-timers!) This forum is full of fellows that have mastered the fine (and dying) art of being a gentleman; just like both of my Grandfathers. Many thanks for that!
