    Glad I finally joined up after lurking for YEARS. This is the one and ONLY forum I've ever been part of, but since I joined up, I've actually looked at some other sites out there to see what the rest of the world discusses and shares. Let me tell y'all, it AIN'T pretty and it ain't anywhere near what Willy and Ken have built up over the years.

    After seeing what else is out there, I am appalled at the behavior and just plain rudeness people inflict on each other. This will naturally be the ONLY site I take part in. Period.

    a million thanks to you both and the other great members that make this the very BEST forum on the world-wide web!!

    Greetings
    It would be interesting to know how long it took to reach 1,000,000 compared to 2x that. Bet the time laps is in direct proportion to our population explosion over the last 3 years.

    The prize is a pocket full of jelly beans. The winner should be able to get them at the local five and dime. Don't send us the bill!
    Seriously, when this started up, we expected membership to top out at around 1,500. It has slightly exceeded that, and shows no real sign of slowing.
    I am member #7 here, and as a staff member, see a LOT of stuff the general populace never sees behind the scenes. All in all, this is one great bunch of people to deal with. Those who aren't great to deal with, we will make behave like a gentleman, whether so inclined or not! Otherwise they are gone elsewhere with our assistance, so the people interested in learning and exchange of ideas can continue.
    Onward to 3 million!
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    I so much appreciate all who had a hand in getting this site up and operational and all you guys moderating. Mods here must be NSA trained the way they take care of business like ninjas.
