But the age-old question remains...

Does your dog really enjoy sweet corn?

Roscoe eats everything. Ate a lime yesterday, after I dropped it. I was having tequila shots. Ate a rolaids, after I dropped it too.
 
Krazy K38, red14... and a few others..

I'd like to say you're welcome for providing a thread in which you got to shamelessly pad your post count. :D :p
 
Heeeey, all my posts are relevent, with great moral intent. I'm trying to change the world here. Oh well, the great ones have always been persecuted.

Now Joni, she is shameful.
 
I might as well add to my count, a little over 200 posts in 7 years.I prefer to remain silent, rather than speak and remove all doubt.

What's up with people posting 15 welcomes to new members? I mean it's nice to be friendly, but there's one member I see who must post 90% of their posts in the new member section.

I seriously think there are a few people trying to increase their posts by saying "welcome to the forum" in every single new member post. It seems strange when today I look in that section, and see that between all the posts, there are only three usernames in the replys......

Am I over reacting?

Yes.... but it still bugs me. It seems like people try to raise their "standing" without actually contributing much to the furum itself.

What's wrong with welcoming new members? It made me feel great to be welcomed by so many people. And what's the big deal with how many post counts you get? Who cares?
Sounds like somebody has a little bit of a control issue. Ever thought of some anger management therapy?
 
I think that post was for me...

I'm the one boosting his post count....therefore, I resemble that remark!!

Chad, your details say that you are a
marine and a fireman. These are two of the most respected and honored professions a man can have and I highly respect anyone who would put their life on the line in everything they're involved in.
With that said, I think it is a shame that someone with your background would lower themselves to the status of a whiner. You only demean yourself by doing that.
As for me, I say live and let live. And I will continue to welcome new members until the ADMINISTRATOR tells me to stop.
 
Eww... chad made a typo!

someone call the typo czar.

we dont have a czar?

maybe someone will stand up and volunteer
or do we have one here allready?
 
Can I be the czar? I like White Russians! I also once owned a Tula SKS!! I'm the most qualified person I know....I an also miss-spell with out looking at my keyvvbsorad!!!'

I went to a gunshow today.

Easy, tiger.
If you want to read back through all this.... this......uhm....uh.....accumulated wisdom (:D found a phrase), you'll see that Chad came around, joined the fun, and became a jolly-good-fellow.
On a thread this long, you'll need to read the whole thing.
