My name is PM. I generally use a pseudonym when posting on other sites. My area of interest has changed over the years and I now collect ball and shotguns and bp rifles. I have kept an old Flusie 16 gauge I use often and have just inherited Uncle Ray's LC. My most used guns are not my "best guns".

Amigo, ever notice how grouchy those Minnesota boys have gotten ever since Bud Grant retired???

Heck they are probably shooting buddies but only know each other by their range names, Frenchy and Chuck

Since before Bud retired ... never fully recovered from the ref giving the Cowboys that NFC Championship game-winning pass in '75 when Pearson pushed Nate Wright to the ground. That fan who hit the official in the head with the thrown bottle went too far, but everyone who saw what happened understood the motivation.

Nate started it.

Ok, my real honest to goodness name is the one I post under. Best gun, either a 20 O grade ejector smith or a magnum 10 NID but I shoot my Bayard hammerguns more and better.
I like Ted , Larry and 8bores imput, i have gotten some good darne info from Ted in the past. Chambers had some great info he was sharing with us too until some unnamed trolls annoyed him enough to leave. To be fair he was a little cranky too. I miss Ol Lightning Klunk and Wise but when I think the level of annoying on this board has gotten worse I remember the trolls and Fanjoi??? from the old version of the board. Some better manners here would be nice but it would ruin Joe n Lowells fun.

Jay knows his Yeats, Ted. Good enuf for me! How'd I know from his handle on the board? Sent me an email, signed his name in the clear. I did the same in reply. Neither of us has suffered at the hands of the other that I know. I also see nothing particularly wrong with the use of an alias unless it goes along with illegal use of mouth. Sometimes the case; sometimes not. Everybody is a bit jittery, aren't we? Got anything to do with curtailment of our glowing personal expectations of economic business as usual? The antis, the liberals, the wetbacks, the Chinese "pawnshop"? Go ahead, cry on Uncle Jack's shoulder; we have to get past this six-cornered belligerency so's Dave can keep his hair. PS: Anything I know or can remember about Darnes or Charlins, I learned mostly from Ted's posts and I have to assume that Ted is righteously who he is as I couldn't prove it anymore than I can prove I'm Jack without two pieces of picture ID.

My name is Skip, at least that is what anyone that isn't a debtor or creditor knows me by. In fact, when the phone rings the only people that get to talk to me are the ones that use it when asking for me. It is the only name I have ever gone by, and having the same name as both my father and grandfather it kept things from getting confusing when we were all together. I make no attempt to hide my last name and if we have spoken through email you have seen it. I have the same username everywhere except the snipe forum. I do that not to hide who I am but because my favorite game bird is so obscure and I don't mind giving him a little publicity.

I thought about my best gun for a while and couldn't come up with one. I considered starting with my worst gun and by eliminating one and then the next I could establish best as the last one left. I didn't have much more luck doing that either. I'd like to have a gun that stands head and shoulders above the rest but I doubt if I ever will. Until then I am content to settle for a couple of adequate guns.

Good one Will!

I can not believe that a post that starts out so innocently can turn in to what this one has. Does it really make a difference if you use your real name or a handle. Been retired for 20 years, got in to computers right after that, first outdoor net I joined everyone used a nick name and it just went on from there. And I am not ashamed of it nor proud of it, just the way it is. John P. Holmes PS: And I don't bring any expertise to this group. I've had a lot of questions answered and I thank all for that.
