Rjennings, Hermit and Alex,

Please stay with us, and if you want to bull around mailto:66mustang@palouse.com66mustang@palouse.com</a> that is always cool.

Some of the old buzzards on the forum speak their mind and forget that they were young. I'm in-between, fairly new to collecting Lugers, yet have had a couple for the last 15 years, but really got into it the last year. (Ask the wife...)

Remember, that freedom of speech goes both ways, that flaming shouldn't be encouraged but those that lurk have as much right to say and as much to learn from as those old wrinkled buzzards (who might be 26 years old) and have forgotten that collecting brings all types. They were burnt once or twice and I think they push their feelings onto you because they want to help. If they didn't post, we'd all miss out, just tell them they are being jerks and you aren't an idiot, just don't know squat about Lugers. Last fall a very knowledgable Colt collector came around and asked some pretty basic questions on Lugers. He said he was a newbie but also knew collecting. Dumb questions might be irritating to those that have been around a long time, but then they should just ignore those questions and let the in-betweeners take a stab at it.

My six cents, I'm in Puerto Rico this week, so speak loud to me.... [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
