Is anyone else tired of......on this forum?

To redlevel,
Germane?

The Germans have nothing to do with this (Smoky and the Bandit)

I've been TOLD that it's all about age and that youger people see the Net as the place for the answer for ALL questions.They don't buy books or reference materials apparently.

I guess I'm old but I'd much rather have a bunch of reference material and books on hand that I can read and re-read and then keep just in case I have a question. "I" just can't imagine heading out to a gun show not KNIWING in advance and if I find something I might want/need I check my reference material.

If it's something that isn't answered THEN it's time to ask.

Did I get a good deal??? Geez either you know and just are reluctant to say "Hey, I bought a........" or you are spending money without knowing true value, which I'm way to Scotch to do.
This to is actually the single most anniying question.

I personally find it annoying but I'm an old grump, so it is to be expected.

to wickahoney,
I guess I'll have to add to what I'm tired of on this forum is;

"Hey, I just spent $??? on this S&W. Can anybody tell me what I just bought?" (this was an actual post a while back)

Huh? If you have plenty of $ to throw around on things you know nothing about,,,,,well spread it around to some other members.

Having reference materials at hand is a good way to start a hobby. The web certainly has changed that. If you can't Google something it must not exist?

-Some of the STUPID questions asked on the forum?
(and yes there are stupid questions, I 've asked a few in my day)


-A lot of posters ooohh and ahhh over a very nice, but very common gun?

-A poster with almost no posts, states " Nice gun, if you want to sell it, put ME on the top of the list" ?

I'm sure there are other things to add to the above, so please feel free.

This should be fun (well sort of)

Dave

The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. If you are new to whatever you need to ask questions. Obviously you don't have children because if you did you'd know they corner the market on what you call "stupid questions".

A lot of posters oooh and aahh over a common gun well maybe some of us can only afford beaters due to job and family issues and think these guns are great.

As for the posters with no posts making that comment I think we should track them down through thier I.P address and beat the living hell out of them!
Just kidding! I think they are kidding too when they post that.
Try some De-Caf and lighten up dude.

That is a beautiful Rabbit.If you ever want to sell it put ME first on the list.Does that rabbit come with the TP or is that special order?

44 special Dave:

What I'm tired of is people posting on a thread without have read through the entire thread first. Not knowing what has already been said in the thread, they ask questions that were already answered or give information that was already given or not requested.

BTW, does that spoon qualify as an AOW?

 

[Alphonso]

Agreed... I can't tell you the times I've oohhed and ahhed over a newborn that looks like a chimpanzee...

Lawyering down at the zoo again, are we?

 

[scottaschultz]

OK, enough of this idle chit chat. Let's get down to some serious business!

I NEED to know:

1) My wife hates guns! What kind of gun should I get her?

And sort of along those same lines:
2) Why can't a .22 be used for HD/SD?

3) What is the difference between a .22 and a .357 Magnum?

4) What is better - fast & light OR slow & heavy

5) I am looking for a gun. What kind should I buy? (Note: I will not help you by telling you how much money I want to spend or what I want to use it for. You will just have to guess!)

6) There is a sign on the door of the Post Office that says No Concealed Weapons Allowed. Should I leave my gun in the car or just go in and hope no one notices?

If he doesn't want to sell you that one, I have a Pre-TP Rabbit, I'll toss in the waffle for free...email me...

[BarbC]

I had a rabbit like that once but I had to sell it when I ran short of funds one year. I really regret selling that rabbit.

 

[jlrhiner]

As usual, I've arrived late to the fun. One thing I did take note of was the comment that people don't come here to be ridiculed. And that's right. Maybe we need a place where people can go to get ridiculed.

oh well, back to the bigfoot post............

 

[jeepjeepwhat]

Those rabbits and spoons look a little out of my price range. Have you seen the new 2009 High Point Spoon??? What do you think of them? I know they look like a mix between a drill and a spork, but I still might get one. Someone please tell me what you think of the High Point Spoons!!

 

[Foodfuzz]

I don't know if it's been asked before, but, which is better, a 9mm or .45acp? Should I open carry or carry concealed? I would like to know cause I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk that would probably be perfect if I don't get the 9mm or .45.

[ServiceGun]

Sporks. You need a spork, preferably in black so that it can an EBS. Otherwise you're helpless against were-badgers. Don't believe me? Wait until they use the ovapositer on you and the egg sacks start to move. Shakes head. To think that some people are still bringing spoons to spork fights.

Spork?

BAH!

The utensil world's jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

Nothing short of a spoon AND fork will do.

 

[walnutred]

Wait a minute, did someone post a thread about a Pre-War RS (Registered Spoon) and I missed it? It's not showing up on a search, were bad words used and the post deleted?

 

[Raider]

This is a grreatt thread what with spoons and bears and rabbits with TP on their widdle heads. This thread needs to be a sticky so all newbies can learn about the important things in life.

Sell my rabbit!!!

That is no ordinary rabbit. It's my guard rabbit. She is a direct descendant of the Holy Grail rabbit.

 

[animalmother]

Perhaps there should be a thread that sits atop each page of this forum listing the dumb things not to post. For example, no one needs to ever again ask "can I shot +P in a (fill in blank)." A short, concise answer can be listed.

 

[keith44spl]

What?

What in the wide wide world of sports it's a goin' on here?

Like that's not an 'oxymoron'...

Just keep smilin', yeah just like that and everyone gonna think it for sure.

Su Amigo,

P.S. Have a safe trip, you know who you are!

I'd like to buy yours, but I'm a hare short on funds now.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

I asked a wise man in Louisianna once.
And got no reply.

That WAS your reply grasshopper.

 

[wbraswell]

You know, I thought this thread was really absurd until I saw the picture of the rabbit with the TP. I think it's kinda cool now. This forum IS a reference material, and a damn good one, too. I like the pictures.

 

[fpcltop20]

The picture of the rabbit and TP made my day. Now I know why I read these posts.

There is an underground evil Black Rabbit craze afoot:

Dave

I agree with most of your comments, except the above quote. Just because someone has a low post count, why discount his gun knowledge, or any statements? We were all new at the beginning. Some have high post counts because they ask stupid questions and answer each and every posts.

In fact, I'm finding myself visiting this site less, due to repeat questions and sometimes tacky, smart ass answers. But, I keep telling myself, it's the internet. Everyone is tougher and smarter tapping away on a keyboard in the comforts of home/office.

 

[joseph whitney]

I like to read ALL the posts, even if they are repettive I guess I am among the minority. Thanks for all the answered questions I have received in the past. For the most part, they have been helpful in my decisions ahd I hope you guys will continue to be there when I need you.
Thanks again,
Joseph Whitney

 

[n4zov]

No, I try to be patient with everybody and their questions. I am an old guy now, but there was a time when I probably asked the same kind of questions - maybe I still do! There are other gun forums where newcomers are routinely blasted, but thankfully this forum is friendly to newcomers and their so-called "dumb" questions. I hope it stays that way.

 

[gatorhugger]

Legit questions, no problem. no matter if the thread is -"is the 9mm a good self defense bullet".
It's ALL been asked and answered somewhere at some point.
Without stupid questions, there would be no forum.
The only ones that irritate me are people starting multiple threads at the same time with generic questions just to hear themselves talk.
They know the answers already, they are just bored.
