That yall never give up or show the frustration of helping everyone on here. Allot of it comes down to the same questions, some with a different twist but yall come forward and offer your $.02 worth, and some opening the vault.

Wish I could sit down around a campfire with many of you and pass the bottle of whiskey, listen to the stories and advice.

Oh, I think the frustration shows, at times, though it's often disguised by a "read the stickies" reply. Which, I think, is excellent advise.

Indeed, it is truly amazing how much advise is offered by so many with so much experience.

You'll find that the oftened repeated, newbie questions are typically ignored by those that have been here awhile. Those questions are to be answered by the just graduated newbie and left for them to test their wings and build up their bravado. Makes them feel good and impotent. Should they answer incorrectly or pass off some false wives tails, THEN the old timers will swoop down from above and literally rip their heads off. Makes them feel good and impotent too.

I've found myself reading an answer to the same question that has been answered more than once. It's not necessarily a bad thing though - sometimes reading the same response from several viewpoints seems to help it sink in. I've had a few AHA! moments after reading something that didn't sink in the first few times.

I for one appreciate the continual stream of information and patience on this board.

I look at the oft repeated questions and think to myself &*%$)(*@&$&*(%^&, THEN I take a breath and realize that they ask because they don't know. Just as I did when I found this site. Can't tell you how much I appreciate the answers then as well as now because I am still leaning. What I find here is that no one is competing to be top dog reloader/caster. I believe that this site is unique in that respect.

In view of the sheer volume of printed material here and the sometimes inscrutable ways of search engines, newcomer's asking the same questions really isn't too surprising.

Some don't bother or think to look first, some simply bog down in sifting through the threads and the link to the needed answer is appreciated.

I think that the recently graduated noobs have empathy for the arriving freshmen.

If someone would sift through all this and make a well laid out hardcover book covering the FAQ's of boolit casting and related topics, id buy five, as it would be the best book on the topic ever written.

It would be more like the Encyclopedia Britannica, with all the annuals included.

C'mon, now there have been a lot worse spellings on this board that no one has even mentioned and you go pick on the one that made me chuckle!
Reminded me of a joke about the fella that went to work wearing a tie. His buddy asked him what the hell he was doing with that thing on to pick up the garbage? He said that he had gone and had a vasectomy and now he was impotent.

Having CRS makes it easy to answer the same question over and over, Just have to hope I remember the answer.

Rule #1 in teaching... Never be selfish with knowledge.
Rule #2 is you are likely to learn as much as you teach sometimes.

I've always found that trying to explain it to someone else makes me understand it better myself.
