As for "selective indignation" Dave has shut down one of Irwin's threads before. While I can't speak for Dave, I believe this is the reasoning: Doublegunshop.com was implimented to promote double guns and to showcase "one-man shops" that no one knows about. problem is, you have to draw the line somewhere. If you want to promote your book, magazine, product, you need to pay like all other advertisers. Rules are needed to preserve the quality of doublegunshop.com. If there were no rules, it would end up like a gunshow, few guns, but tons of beef jerkey, and trinket sellers. IMHO
