Still waiting for mine in rain soaked Ca.

Paul, Dan, and Pete,
After reading Mr. Precious' requests and responses to civil questions I would remind you that sometimes the best business you do is the business you walk away from.

I enjoyed the last issue and I applaud your efforts to provide the membership with an informative magazine. Obviously, Mr. Precious has never volunteered his time for a worthy cause. He is a classic definition of a critic- "One who feels qualified to criticize the efforts of others because of never having created anything worthy of note."

Gut Ziel,

Steve Garbe, 
Editor of "The Black Powder Cartridge News"

Was that with the monthy installment of sunshine that had to be shipped it?  (I live in Pulaski, where we have fabric mills and furiture plants in lieu of coal mines.)

            Thanks for your  response--I'm sure the ASSRA officials and the editor fell the same.   leadball

I agree completly with what you said. Nothing frosts me more that some guy who thinks that his first membership entitles him to tear in to everything cause he plunked down $35.00.
In times like this I like to quote Pope (Alaxander not H.M.)

Critics are like eunuchs in a harem. They know what to do, they see it done every day. They are simply incapable of doing it themselves.

For the record I am proud of the work that the Association does in putting togeather the Journal. The editor, writers, and photographers put in a lot of time and energy to make the magazine enjoyable for the membership. It may not be perfect but they put in their best effort on every page. The idea that someone would walk in off the street plunk down their money and starts to whine is at best in bad taste.

Got mine yesterday, great issue well worth waiting for. Don't understand what anyone would have to complain about. FITZ.
