    So let's see for the math majors..
    Out of a post that contains 20 posts prior to this one, 3 added meaningful comment in regards to the thread, 1 gave approval, and 16 were off topic, unless you count the apparently most important topic of grammar correction..

    So 80% of the replies relate to that...
    Hell, why don't we get jonas to make a grammar section since it obviously is 4 times more important than anything else on a gun forum.

    I agree. It's kinda cute when Tack does it. But all these copy cats are getting a little old.

    It seems like a ego trip of posting just to feel important over some trivial mispellings, or slight grammatical issues..

    That effort would better be channeled into adding meaningful to the conversation, instead of coming off as a egotistical, arrogant, ass who wishes they were grading english papers because they can't add anything useful to the conversation, either because of their lack of understanding of the topic or their ego.

    But, you know what some people say.."you can't fix stupid"

    I was once told by an employer that I was too important for a week of vacation off, but not important enough for a raise.
