If my memory serves me correctly - and that becomes more of a rarity as each day passes - I first logged into the old, original board sometime in 1993 or early 1994 shortly after my arrival to Albuquerque in June of 93. I have been on many others and still do participate in a couple, but for gun knowledge, this one is and always has been the very best. Some of the others have degenerated into name calling and such BS that I don't visit as much as I once did. This is still the most civil of all the boards I am aware of and Dave runs a top notch operation here as far as I am concerned. I will say that I had never given much though to donating to a board until I had to pay one of the others to stay on. After doing it I felt so bad because I had just paid to stay with something that often just sucks and had never paid Dave a dime for the benefit and honest pleasure I have derived from this board. As soon as I saw the Call for Donations this year I sent mine immediately!! Feels good. Thanks Dave.
