Ok, so I've been on the hide for over nine years as a quasi-lurker. I've learned a lot, tried to keep up with the technology. I also hunt, shoot, and collect firearms, so I'm on the classifieds a lot. Haven't bought anything yet.
I see lots of long timers hammer on the count padders for the arbitrary "BTT's, nice gun, wish I had the funds", etc. Apparently it's an issue as the post count went up to 100. No worries, I understand and golly, it seems reasonable.
However, I see as many high count posters doing the same exact thing, complementing the seller, etc. Ribbing their buddies for being gun whores (i like that one).
Just sayin', I don't see the difference between the fng and the 3001 posts-since-registering-last-year user when they post this stuff. I've done it a time or two myself, esp. for those choice sticks I will never be able to buy.
It's almost like there are amateur padders and professional padders (they've earned the right to post those three or four letters- BTT or BUMP.)
So I just wanted to say, after nine years of observing, you might want to wait one before jumping the FNG. (also another form of holier than thou padding)
mild rant over. Carry on.
