Guys, we would really appreciate having Rocks welcomed on here no matter what the case.  Locked or unlocked.  He is a great sportsman and I know I always have enjoyed his contributions.
I think I see a rip in the social fabric, Brother can you spare some ammo?

I'm sure Mr.Rocks is a great guy but he did sound a little condescending don't you think?

  Just thought maybe not being as public was a good idea.  Typing in a user name and password is to hard to have a look around.

Anyway I think this isn't a great idea. Lurkers will sign up just to lurk, so we might increase our membership of non contributing members. We already have lots of non contributing members.

Are the other 50 plus guests on line right now?

No worries Jimmy personally I just don't see the down side, unless there's some evil that can be done by being a guest. How would you know if you wanted to join if you couldn't see what you're getting into.

People guests aren't always legit people, sometimes they are search engines, sometimes they are spam bots. If you see 50 guest half will be legit people.

Ok now there's a reason I had no idea about that.

To note at the moment there were 44 guests 9 were spambots and 2 we're search engines that leaves 33 lurkers you guys should sign up. In fact all lurkers that sign up and post here in the next hour go into a draw for a $100 cabelas gift card!
