Theres a few reasons i'm joining, First, I visit the site quite a bit and enjoy posting reading and arguing, these site's cost money to keep up and i can at least contribute a little. Second is the search engine goes farther back from what i understand so i can find discussions that have been deleted from mainstream view. I've sold some stuff on the EE and its free to anyone, if i was to have sold them on ebay or gunbroker, they would have hit me with commission whereas the site didnt, I will be selling a lot of stuff in the future and this site will be the first place i place my adds before ebay, gunbroker and auction arms. I just dont understand why they leave it up to one man (goatboy) to do all the registering. Everything has its flaw in operation and i understand that but to wait as long as we do to get things going is nonsense. You know if you buy something on the EE and you send in your payment and several weeks go by and your items havent arrived yet you get pretty antsy and thats what i am. McM
