What we have here are two issues from what I can see.
1. Ads with comments and input not neccesarily in keeping with the original ad
2. what is considered appropriate for the site.
1. The ad's. Either make it pure classified like GA but with the sellers email listed in the ad and all communication is between seller and buyer with no posting of anything. or keep it as is.
2. As far as what is considered suitable or appropriate for this site; that can very easily turn into an insurmountable problem if the wrong person(s) gets to be the judge , jury and executioner, the arbiter of good/bad taste on BBS. A pre war Mauser sporter is not a double, nor is a single shot Alex Henry Sporting Rifle. Are these not suitable for the purview of the GUNSHOP BBS? What about that Winchester Model 12 28 Ga. Solid rib Pigoen grade? (if one exists) Or that Peerless grade 11-48? we could go on and on. I would suggest that we limit the selection to our own good taste. If anyone feels a particlar posting goes against the philosophy of the board, then voice a complaint to Dave and he will make the decisoon, its his site.
I love doubles, hunt with them 99.9% of the time and use classic bolt rifles and double rifles. But, I also love the sound, sight, feel and fun of shooting squirt guns (full auto firearms). Does that make me a bad person and a non classicist? Ask Crossed Chisels (hey Dave, hope I am not speaking out of turn on this one) about some of the Class III stuff he has played with/worked on, especially back in the midwest years. Does that make him a heritic?
Come on boys, lets not get wrapped around the axle on this one.
