This site, is a great ship with great crew. I have to give some thanks.
Ive asked for many things an i have to say, that many members here race to be the first--to help.One cant ask for more or appreciate more. I owe many here a LOAD of gratitude. Id like to post usernames of some who have greatly helped--if they didnt feel too embarassed to be talked about? Let me know by regular post--because my PMbox fills quikly.
Anyway, I owe lots of good folks here a lot--and just wanted to express my thanks to them--and the staff here. See yall tomorrow briefly--yours--The Kid.

Well, I agree wholeheartedly. This board is great and has a ton of great people on it. Sure, I've had some differences, but always been able to work it out.
If those you are talking about are like me, they aren't looking for recognition. Just being able to help is enough. I'm grateful for them too.

I agree! 
This is great site and there are so many that want to help, even with the standard stuff like "Can my _____ shoot +P?".
Happy Thanksgiving all!

This is a great ship, with a great crew. Ironically, almost every member here has suffered the indignity of property loss in a boating accident at one point or another. A shame how such things happen ...

Tragic. Mine was a distilling accident, but no matter.
Yes. it's a fine forum. I'm thankful again this year for its civil tone, informative content, off the wall humor, and wonderful cast of real characters. Not the least of whom are the merry band of primates who keep the whole thing on the rails against all odds and ends.

Some of the Mods don't respond to compliments, but there sure recognize a "Dinger".
Please may your Thanksgiving be joyous and happy wherever you may be -- even stuck in the airport.

I have to agree, this is as fine a bunch as you would ever want to run into. I would say as a whole they would be welcome in my home anytime. You too Ringo, even if you did just eat cabbage, the windows open just fine!

I like to be able to post "off the wall" stuff and no one gets their shorts in a knot. They may disagree or scold me, but we all get over it and get along.
And...................I've never encountered the "Correct Police"!

I really enjoy this forum. There's a lot of good guys and gals here and I enjoy seein' what they got to say.
I'm also amazed at the skill and artistic ability shown by some of the forum members. I'm personally humbled and at the same time encouraged to improve my leathercrafting by what I see posted here.
I contribute posts when I can and sometimes when I shouldn't.
Also, thanks to certain individuals here ordering leather products from me, we'll be able to notch the heat up a little this winter. In fact, I've got a dress gun belt I'm workin' on for a forum member today.

Yes, thanks to a great bunch here, I feel very welcome here even tho I am the minority. Being around truckers, bikers and the pawnshop biz all my adult life I do have to watch my potty mouth tho! I'm sure I'll slip up one of these days.
I registered here to ask a few questions, never figured on hanging around but I think you are stuck with me now. Thanks for all the great info here, the varied discussions, the laughs, and all the pictures to drool over.
Like the sign on my shop door:
PROTECTED BY SMITH & WESSON
Nothing in here is worth dying over.
Thank you all!

They are and also better--all are veterans too--and law enforcement. I cant find a site on the net with this amount of great folks to rub elbows with. I guess this is like the heroes thing. Real heroes ask for nothing and dont brag--well--you guys are heroes to me and deserve recognition.

My shrink/noodle farmer told me I need to find a soft, happy place with no sharp corners, frequented by those sympathetic to my limited cranial capacity.
Did I ever hit the motherlode!

The great thing is that there's something here for everyone.
Some here are retired and some aren't.
Some like wheel guns and some don't.
We may prefer different calibers and methods of carry. But overall we're gun lovers.
After a hard days work, I gotta tell ya, it's quite relaxing to come here and listen to the chatter!

If 'like' is implied in your heading.....
That is a great metaphor about a great ship with a great crew. Makes me proud to be part of it.

Hi, Pawngal! There are probably more of the fairer sex on this boat than we know.
You've got a kindred spirit here. I worked for a bus company and hung around at the diesel shop
where my late husband worked, so I too have to self censor.
Glad to be a mate on this here vessel! Happy Thanks Givinging all!

I had to kinda make amends to the Navy gents here. In one of my memories posts--I accidentally used the term: Swabbie--which was in the post of the time I took 8 beautiful gals out to lunch--and a tabeful of Sailors couldnt believe their eyes. 
And same here--this has got to be at least in the top few gun places on the net.

I bounce around on a leatherworker forum from time to time and it's the females on the forum that do some of the most beautiful work

Honestly, with you, I'd think something more movie related.
