There was a thread a while back about this subject----not sure the S word was
actually used but it probably fits.
Guess what ? I don't necessarily see this as a totally negative assessment. This
board has a lot of older/more experienced folks who have already learned what they think they need to know-----in contrast with another much more active board which has the usual assortment of old heads-----plus more beginners
who ask more questions.
If you take a look at the current state of the board, you'll see a lot of posts that
have been around a long time.
My personal preference for this board would be for the old heads to continue
to advance what they've learned----rather than the painful process of pushing
answers across the keyboard for beginners-----in other words we need to get
off our collective asses and develop and share more advanced skills.
I had a talk with a friend on this board about our (shooters) tendency to cling
to what "they" say we should do. This fellow is known to be a very successful
BR competitor and although he's not E.F. Hutton, I listen to what he says. I won't identify him for fear his house will be surrounded by screaming protestors.
In our conversation about thinking out of the box his observation was---"We are
followers of followers. We are like ants going round and round on the rim of a
coffee cup."
Maybe we should take the terrible risk and try to get of the rim of that cup. There
will be some failures but maybe also some significant successes.
Shoot'em good.
