Nope.

[jcwit]

What would I do? That is a good question.

I would be King of the Forum, Moderating wisely, truly and well. And then there would be some changes around here, viz:

Imprimis:
Be it here known to all that the reason there is a powder, primer, brass, wheelweight, .22RF and other shooting-related shortage is because of Me... Sometimes we all go over there, have our bodyguards chase away the half-starved dogs that roam the location, unlock and roll up the door, and just stand there and gloat over it.

Item:
All threads over three months old will have an Emoticon of a zombie rising from its grave

Item:
Any argument made that certain guns are inferior in workmanship or quality of materials to others of the same pattern will need supporting data to show that this is indeed the case.

Item:
Data will also be needed to illustrate any arguments about how anything shoots.

Item:
The Pit area will be off limits to anyone who actually has anything of technical value to impart in the other threads. The Moderators' Committee will meet in secret every six months to determine, from the overall quality of their postings, who has permission to enter the Pit.

Hmm, for the first, why not be like Scrooge McDuck and dive into a pile of loose 22LR rounds?

Can mere users lock threads? I wanted to zip up the .32 for bear after it got a little off-track and I couldn't...

Empirical data wins. My surfing through the period articles in the 1870s to 1930 uses attribution and links to the original (if not too difficult).

The Pit is a bit odd. My point of view is that everything has been slimed with political intrigue past where SOMEONE is going to react to a supposed stab at whatever party or group they follow. So do we all hunker down in a fetal position, put our arms around our knees, and rock back and forth while whimpering? For example: Is mentioning a bad deal which most likely going to get a lot more innocent people killed, maybe even people we know, something that is banned from Our Town? (I don't think the Cruz/Trump take on the Iran "deal" was moved, no harm no foul)

Lastly, can we kill polls? I set one up in Test, might be gone by now, but it was like a honey pot, it didn't even have a real question... or maybe other people can read (what's left of) my mind...

[Lloyd Smale]

sure wouldn't ask me in the first place. I tend to tell it like it is and some don't like that.

[james nicholson]

They should make Wilco a Mod, that would reduce his free time

[Iowa Fox]

I'd promise a Star on every bench, and a Dillon in every garage.

I'll vote for you Love Life.

[Bazoo]

Id take a poll, once a month, as to whether or not wilco should be able to post a poll for the month, and the ayes and nays would have their say. Leave it to the common people you see.

I like my Dillon's in the house!

I also like the idea of 30 or 60 days and move the Poll to a Poll Home

[jaysouth]

Free beer and hot wings!

[therealhitman]

Awww man! Did I miss the memo to pile on WILCO for no apparent reason... again?

[jabo52521]

Free beer and hot wings!

You got my vote!

[Love Life]

Awww man! Did I miss the memo to pile on WILCO for no apparent reason... again?

WILCO dog pile? I'm in!

[bedbugbilly]

Institute a "Poll Tax" by Executive Order . . . .
