I totally agree with GLS' assesmant. I will reveal one little bit of info here. I have not contacted Joe off Forum, but he once contacted me by PM. I had gone longer than normal without posting to the forum & he PM'd me to make sure I was OK. He did reveal his name to me as well as contact info. I did reply to him that I was OK that I had just been tied up with other things & nothing much had been on the forum at that time I was particularlly interested in. This is something not a "SINGLE" one of his detractors did. I am not complaining that no one else did, not something I am likely to do either, but "JOE DID". I will of course keep his name in confidence, anyone he wants to know it, he can tell them. I have never met him personally, but have the feeling he is actually a very warm & caring person. I believe he is very knowledgable in his assesmant of guns & just doesn't like to see people throw "Good" money at "Bad" guns in a buyer's Heat. It is of course up to anyone to accept or ignore his recommendations. If however one chooses to ignore, then later decides to sell & is unable to recoup their investment, they were warned.
As to location he has of course let it be know on numerous occasions that he hails from Memphis, TN.
