There's a wealth of knowledge and info here. I respect the opinions of many who often lob grenades at one another. jOe knows guns and if anyone has ever taken the time to call or write him off forum they know what I mean. There's more behind his one-liners than you may think. If one wants to feel good or receive affirmation about a gun, don't look to jOe. He will give his honest opinion and it might not be easy on the eyes or ears and what you hoped to read or hear.
I completely agree, my only beef with jOe is when someone new to the board is asking questions about a family heirloom, jOe could be a bit more thoughtful and pleasant with his remarks. However, his knowledge is obvious and even though he's usually coming from a different perspective than my own bottom-feeders perspective (another area we often disagree) I still value his opinion (even though I doubt if he values mine very much LOL).
