Wonderful post.
The Parker forum has a lot of great guys - and a few that are living in the 1980's, full time. Their ignorance of identity theft and personal property theft is equaled only by their need to be anal retentive and 'in charge'.
I am waiting for the day, and it will come, when one of the guys who uses his real name, and city, gets paid a call by someone who cleans out his every last Parker and leaves his wife hog-tied on the kitchen floor. There are plenty of people who have full-time jobs perusing the internet looking for opportunities to stuff their mattress at the expense of others.
I find it highly interesting that almost all of the Parker forum people who also post here use handles here. If it's so smart to use their real name there, why not here?
The Viper board. The Corvette board. The stamp collecting board. The coin collecting board. The Smith and Wesson board. There is an endless list of forums full of people that avoid publishing their items-they-own-that-others-would-love-to-steal.
