It's easy when you know how to do it...

Since only Gregg can ban anyone, you'd have to ask him. I always assumed that if you are banned, all of you is banned (posts, contact info, etc.). But I've never banned anyone, so I'm not sure exactly how the software deals with a banned member.

Payroll??? You think I actually get paid??? I think you may have been hitting that sherry...

In Photobucket, if you hover the cursor over the upper left corner of the photo, you get this drop-down menu... Click on "Share" and you get this: Click on the info in the "IMG" box (I circled it here in red)... when you click on that, it will turn yellow, which means you have copied it. Now just paste that info into your post here. You will see the link to your photo appear in your post. Once you actually post, we will all see the photo you linked to.

That's just about perfect. My favorite generation of Corvette.

Still waiting for the full name...

No need to apologize. This forum is open to everyone, whether you're a long-time member or just joined yesterday. Every member is equal here.

"And if she's comin', she's showed no mark. She's heard no whistle blowin' from the dark. She feels like leavin' and she don't know why. Without no bridges, she's trapped, so I sigh"...

One thing you might want to post is your actual full name. It's a forum rule. We like to know who we're talking to...

I'm not a gun guy, so maybe I don't have a good grasp of this concept... but I just assumed that people used handguns for self-protection, "long guns" for sport, hunting, etc.. Guess I'm off-base...

Yeah, if you're a collector (which it seems like he is), why would you store your guns loaded??? Obviously the gun wasn't meant for protection. Who uses a rifle for protection? And if the rifle was intended for protection, you wouldn't store it in a gun case. Strange...

Randy Meisner, one of the original members of the Eagles and their original bassist (before Tim Schmidt replaced him), had a rough day today. His wife Lana was apparently moving a rifle stored in a gun case (don't know why), when another object (another rifle?) struck the trigger, killing her instantly. I guess she had an even rougher day than her husband did. What a sad way to check out...

And we're glad to have you.

Not sure who is in the "inner circle" or who decides who gets into it. In fact, there's no such thing as the "inner circle" here. We don't have some sort of secret handshake or anything. And I don't remember seeing anyone being ignored because they're not part of the "group." What makes you think we have some sort of special group of members who are above all the rest?

Yup. It would be great if a lot more members posted, even if only now and then.

There are only a couple hundred "active" members who actually post here–some regularly, some every now and then. The majority of members never post at all. They may look, but we never hear from them.

I know that in Germany they generally use last name first, first name last. So is your name Hans Ludwig? Or Ludwig Hans?

The Auto World "cutter" was nothing more than a soldering iron with a blade... it wasn't a "cutter," it was actually a "melter." If you heat plastic enough so that you can easily slice through it, obviously you're not going to get a clean, straight cut. You're going to get a mess of melted, distorted plastic. I wonder how many people ruined a model by using that ridiculous "cutter"...

Never a problem.

On some kits. the locator pins/receivers actually cause the parts to be misaligned. Sand the mating surfaces flat, as Bob says, and use liquid cement to fuse the parts together.

If you're going to condemn Walmart for playing by Mexico's rules, then you have to condemn all the US companies doing business there, including our car manufacturers. You think Ford and Chrysler and GM operate plants there without paying bribes? Wake up...

Best wishes, Carl. We need you here.

Don't be too quick to blame Walmart for being the bad guy. You have to keep in mind that this is happening in Mexico, one of the most corrupt countries on earth, from the very top of the government down through local politics, the police force, etc. Taking/giving bribes is "normal" in Mexico... it's the way they operate. If you think politics and business is corrupt here in America, it's 100 times worse in Mexico. Walmart has to "play the game" in Mexico as it's played in Mexico. I assume that everyone plays the same game there, because honesty doesn't get you too far in Mexico. From businessanticorruption.com: Corruption is a significant risk for companies operating in Mexico. Bribery is widespread in the country's judiciary and police, and business registration processes, including getting construction permits and licenses, are negatively influenced by corruption. Organized crime continues to be a very problematic factor for business, imposing large costs on companies. Collusion between the police, judges and criminal groups is extensive, leading to widespread crime, theft, impunity and weak law enforcement. The petroleum industry is dominated by the state-owned oil company Pemex, which has been the subject of several high-profile corruption cases. Gifts and "hospitality" are not forbidden by law and may be permissible, depending on intent. Attempted bribery, extortion, abuse of office, bribery of foreign public officials and "facilitation payments" are criminalized under Mexico's Federal Penal Code; however, Mexico's anti-corruption laws are almost never enforced, and public officials are rarely held liable for illegal acts.
