Up-date profiles ????
« on: October 18, 2010, 09:37:33 AM »
Sure wish you guys who haven't already, would update your profiles with at least the state where you live. ;D
It would be interesting when reading about what you hunt and what you shoot, to know in what part of the good ole' US of A you do it.   ???  Hope I am not just being "nosy".....don't think so.   ;D

Thx,

To go along with this request-when asking a question it would be very helpful to include the ranges, terrain, and other info as it will help in getting a better answer

"Require" is not a dirty word. If you are going to trust one another enough to sell , trade. ship to one another, just knowing where they are located is not too much to ask. If you just want to look on, fine, no need for the info, but if you are going to engage in the activity and participate in the forum, that is minimum knowlege' Otherwise it is like getting a blind date with a girl in a burka.

what about pertinent medical information below your signature...

Well, I kinda figured that's what a trade count is for,, as long as a party is CONUS what does it matter, IF AK or HW then shipping cost can be an issue,,but to require info,,?
If ya notice some do have a display of where they are, that is that persons choice. ,,

Because typing my full name takes longer and because it avoids confusion with others with the same or similar names. I also work for the state of missouri so if you go to the missouri state website and look under Dept Mental Health - Laycock you can get an a job description and my annual salary along with my job location. The location bit is handy because I have relatives scattered about and if someone mentions a FTF sale or something and they are off line etc, I can judge pretty quickly if it would be worth my time to follow it up or disregard. If you feel the need for some kind of deep cover, that is strictly up to you, just don't get insulted if I think it is a bit paranoid. Everyone here is and has been very helpful and pleasant to deal with, I have , after all, sent checks, money orders, and valuable barrels etc off into the mail to people I have never met or heard of before just on the strength of that little "trade" rating. I guarantee that somewhere in the bowels of some government agency some vast storage unit has recorded for possible data mining every email, pm, advertisement, etc that mentions firearm, explosive, Allah, ephedrine etc etc. Fortunately their level of ineptitude, lack of cooperation and ego levels will make using it next to impossible. Any way, a pleasant good night to all.

Oh I was in St. James back in 90', spent a week. We built a Amoco gas staion on the freeway/highway on the west side of town.
Had a blast in that dance hall downtown, usta be a theater?

Anyway's no thanks, a FTF sale would be a bit far for me to drive from Minn.

Peace friend  :D ;D

It would be good if everyone would be faithful to post feedback after a transaction (tradecount).   I've left positive feedback for four members here on good transactions but not a one returned the favor... kind of disappointing.  If we have the time to post for sale items, accept payments, etc, we should have time to 'finish' the transaction.

FWIW, the profile can be a handy (handi?) thing, that is why its there, I suppose. I wish more would use it, not that Im nosey, lets say interested is a better word, in those of you who come here and I count as friends. I sure cant fault anyone for not wanting to get too much pers.info 'out there', but I think anyone with bad intent already knows how to get way more info on me from the 'net than I would think possible.
We're probably all on some master file somewhere anyway just for being here on the 'net, so Im not going to fret it.

Re: Necchi that station is now about the center of town. Wal-mart built a distribution center here about a half mile west of the station, the building covers about 20 acres and it is the major employer by far for at least 45 miles in any direction. In 90 the population was about 2700, this time it will be over 4000. Guess that is progress. The Briggs & Stratton small engine plant closed about 3 years ago and went to China. We do have a really great little winery, lots of national forest, and trout fishing. If any of you guys are in the neighborhood, let me know, I would like to meet you.

  Sorry guys, didn't mean to start stuff. I go to several sites that require it in adds. I think it is useful. Like when a fellar post up a FTF, then it would be nice if we knew where in world Waldo is.

Myself I ain't skeered. Army (government) has all my info as does the local law ;)
