Maybe Time For A Poll...

Pete Ebbink · 07-03-2003, 05:30 PM

Actually; I find myself in full agreement with Wes and others...no need for censorship in the Classifieds...

Maybe a Poll structured with very specific and pointed questions to "mine" the morals & character of our Membership might be fun and informative...

Such a Poll could contain yes/no questions such as the following and the Poll would need to be totally "confidential and anonymous" so folks would give honest replies...

Some question examples :

1. Do you personally see anything wrong with a "forced-matching" luger ?
Yes _____ No ____

2. Have you, at anytime in your luger collecting, replaced luger parts to inact a forced-match pistol ?
Yes _____ No _____

3. Would you consider selling a luger that you knew (and/or possibly did yourself...) was forced-matched to a buyer and not inform the buyer of the forced-match ?
