Trust on the forum

[1377x]

So true about the "Karma Account". It is so true, what comes around goes around. So many people on this forum have helped me out since I started, I lose count and sometimes even start taking things for granted. Know I am human and therefore tend to err...........  So much deep thanks to all

If you ask my wife she would say Mike don't trust anyone and she's right. So this is new for me, and to trust someone i dont no never just go's to show you can teach an old dog new tricks but cant teach him how to spell. There are some great people here and im glad to be part of it.

I pretty much agree with everyones comments here but........ as with all things, keep in mind who we are on this and the other airgun forums vs. the "other hobby forums". Most of use are adults and older adults at that. I know we have a few younger members but for the most part we are not youngsters and we aren't in to a "trendy" hobby here such as trash skate bording, high teck geek computer mods or hacking Play Stations where we are dealing 18 yr. olds / young teen's etc.

We have basic common if not interlaced interests. We hunt, we fish, we camp / back pack, were into powder burners, archery, paper punching and general tinkering, we like the outdoors in general etc. Many of us are from military and or law enforcemt backgrounds if not long family lines of service. I have found that most people like us are true honest folks and we have "older values" and old school integrity....... some things are better with age and I don't just mean a bottle of wine

Well said!, Capt. Thomas

[JEBert]

Cap'n,
Speaking of wine,  (you did just now, didn't you?)
You do know that you are supposed to let your bottle of wine breathe? 
Pull the cork, and set the bottle down to let it breathe for a minute before pouring.
If it doesn't seem to be breathing on its own,...
Give it mouth-to-mouth!
Cheers,
Jerry

[Capt. Thomas]

Oh wow, is that JUST for wine? Damn, all this time I thought it was any bottle of fine spirit? Well, now I know why my friends always have fear in their eye's and insist on opening the Scotch when I'm at their place and why the bartenders love me so much  Mental note to self....... no more deployment drinking habits whilst back in the world

My wife was asking me the same thing a while ago when I sent some plastic 600 grips to some cat in WA. She asked, "Why would you give them away for free?" Well, they are only worth a few dollars and it is more of a hassle to collect payment rather than simply donate. For me, I call it "The Karma Account" and it is best to keep it in the black. This wouldn't be possible without chaps like Quickster, Crosshairs, NorthStaR, Capt. Thomas, Workinman, Arkmaker, Sothart, Brutuz, OahuDave, Tinker and so many others (sorry if I left you out). Thanks for all of your help and assistance over the past several months whether it be goods or simple advice. Right on.

Thanks again, fellers, and let's keep this positive trend moving along- 

And I thank you 
When I received them and told the wife she said " about time that do unto others thing starts working in your favor" It seems we too are those people who give help and aid without expecting a return and when something like this happens it is a unexpected surprise.
We will continue to deposit into the "Karma Account", who knows maybe one of those lottery tickets will surprise us too!!

our CAPOF family is strong, lets keep it that way.

I owe a lot of you and thank each and everyone at the same time. 

There are many guns and parts that wouldn't be in my collection if it wasn't for the goodness in the members of CAPOF.

Even knowledge given freely is an unusual thing. Many people are competitive in certain hobbies and shield their secrets.

On here it is the opposite.    

I also trust a lot of you as many have grey hair.    I have two distinguished silver threads myself. 

It is a forum for old souls, not necessarily old bodies.

Old souls how true, good one NS.
