I am also thankful for my Internet friends who share their knowledge and opinions freely and respectfully. There are folks on this site that probably have forgotten more than I know. Having said that, I know what I like in better firearms, and know that they don't all have to have big names to give satisfactory use in the field or clay bird shooting. I like to see interestingly different guns, mostly British, Italian or Spanish, but just to be open minded I just bought a German 20 gauge SxS that I am really keen to get into my hands.
The few posters that insult, belittle or demean others, not so much.
Kind of similar to biting insects, which may have a purpose in the grand scheme of things, but I could surely live without.
