Then, without being prompted, he would have told you a model 21 Winchester was a piece of shit, too. Then Don Moody (he’s also dead ) would have seen that and given a bunch of reasons why a 21 isn’t a piece of shit, why a Superposed wasn’t either, and it would go back and forth for half a dozen pages, and if you could ignore them insulting each other, you’d have a pretty good idea of what to watch for on the Superposed you were looking at, and, a whole bunch of information on Winchester 21s that you didn’t need.

Because, everybody already knows that they really are pieces of shit.

If you ask Facebook about those doubles you’ll get another good example of where information isn’t.

Best,
Ted

This specifically is what makes this site so great. It is the back and forth debates about the relative merits that really reveal the whole truth about any gun (or subject) that comes up.



I love it. All of it, with the exception of the bedwetters that have a problem with a post about this or that and cry all over their keyboards.

Years ago, one of my favorite bars had the waitresses jump up on the tables and do a choreographed dance twice a night. They wore short skirts and cowboy boots, which, was going to leave a few of them on the sidelines. One night, a dude at the bar asked the owner to stop having the girls do that. Owner told him he should buy the place, and he could do whatever he wanted, but, right now, he should get the F out.

My sentiments exactly, at the bar, and, here.

Best,
Ted
