Well, I know it will take me a while to have the number of posts that some of you have, but I do enjoy this site. I have been "lurking" here (as my wife calls it) for about eight months now. I would say I have become addicted. The topics that get covered here just kill me. I almost like just hanging around to see what comes up next. Before work I log on to find out what is happening and then during the day I catch myself wanting to pop in to see what's going on. Now here I am trying to catch up on issues. I can almost get all the news I need to start the day from you guys. I have learned quite a bit and have rekindled my interest in AR-15's because of some of the discussion here. Anyway, I just wanted to say hey and try to get the feel for this posting stuff.

Welcome aboard...

You hit the nail on the head regarding "interesting posts"

Did you happen to catch the "mutated cow thread" ? [:D]

Learn to not mention this place to your wife. My girlfriend has become concerned that I occaissionally mention something that "my imaginary friends" have done.

"You know someone whose last name is "TheHun"?"
"What do you mean "Toaster says.."? You talk to a toaster? It talks back?"
"Who said that you needed to buy body armor and night vision goggles?"

Welcome!! [beer]

I met a lurker Sat. at the local fun show who has been lurking for 3 years and said he was going to register. I was hoping you were him. You're not, but I am thrilled to see you join the ruckus. Welcome, and enjoy yourself. This is a great family and growing closer by the day. [:)]

No, I logged on after the cow thread. Sometimes it seems like you have to be in the right place at the right time for some of these posts.

I have already learned that one. Almost every day I have to tell her one of the stories that I picked up here. (i.e. the Submarine Saturn, stories from the shooting range, mall ninjas, etc..) I don't think she quite understands yet. (She knows I'm a little crazy anyway -- and she tolerates it.)

It all depends! There are some people here I'm sure get a 100 post's in a day. I'm almost certian EricTheHun has rolled the odometer over 10,000 several times now. [:D]

Welcome sit back kick off the shoes and stay awhile. You will most likely find answers to all your AR problems. Then again you might find answers about life also here. Take it all with a grain of salt. If your looking for a AR Weapon or in that case info on any type of weapon your at the right place.

Good woman you got there. As for my better half, Lord knows anyone willing to tolerate me has the patience of an angel.
