Welcome! I have been here for a few years off and on and 99% of the people here are people that I would not being neighbors with. I may not agree with all that is said, but that is the beauty of this forum is that you can agree to disagree and everyone seems fine with it.

Hey A_P, welcome aboard.
I think we all try to keep it reasonably civil, and focus on subject matter instead of personalities. That makes the forum work. Anything else is a waste of time.
FWIW, sooner or later a topic will get you totally PO'd. IMO the correct response is: "let's agree to (strongly) disagree and just move on."
Edit: Any background info you'd like to share? What sort of stuff are you interested in?

Welcome! I have been here for a few years off and on and 99% of the people here are people that I would not being neighbors with. well, this could go either way - i think there's a word missing between "not" and "being". 'mind' or 'like' are two possibilities. i've voting for 'mind'.

Welcome aboard newguy! I agree this is one of the most civil boards I've ever seen. Enjoy your time here.... I too surf this all the time at work, from my phone instead of a computer. For some reason they don't seem to trust me with one of those  -Bill Liptak

OOOOOPS! Ya brain went faster then the fingers. And yes the word missing is MIND. I would not MIND being neighbors with most of them. I must be getting old as when I read it back to myself...it looked fine. Thanks for the catch.

Howdy Air Pirate. If you annoy, you'll be told. *laughs* BTW, like the name. So I figured I'd share this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WrPWFn7e2c

Wow thanks everyone! As far as my interests, I like: camping, hiking, mountain biking, reading, geocaching, and survival stuff. I'm a gear/gadget guy, especially knives and other blades. I like watching both Survivorman and Man vs. Wild, I see merits in both shows, I just happen to enjoy Survivorman more.
I did 6 years active duty in the Air Force and am currently a technician with the Tennessee Air National Guard. (Re)Married, with a daughter and step-son. I live in Memphis, TN which is one of the violent crime capitals of the US (we are not proud).
Anyway, that about does it for what I can think of at the moment. If anyone wants to know more, just ask.

You are into survival, being away from civilisation, knives and other blades, are ex military and proud of the fact you live in a high crime area, (where you see yourself as the vigilante?) And you have a logo of a skull and cross bones. Let me guess; you think of yourself as a bit of a renegade who was born 150 years too late? You sound a bit of a lunatic in fact. You'll fit right in with us! Welcome aboard! The Sock
