My internet has been unavailable for just one week and I returned to find more than 4 screens of unread postings. SRP is a busy place.
It’s going to take me a couple of days to catch up and it’s all worthwhile reading.

That's a good thing
Not sure if it's ALL worthwhile but it will help to burn some time. :rofl2:
I know I can lose time reading posts here
It used to be. It’s not a fraction what it was
I prefer quality over quantity ;-)
Yea TC's right.
It used to be here were so many new posts you simply couldn't read but a fraction of them. Most just read a few forums and never touched the others.
Plus even at that level it was quality. We sure had some good guy’s contributing
Just check out the glamour shots of guys forging razors and eating BBQ at the big 2020 SRP meet, and you will have covered most of the important stuff. ;)

Before I could finish the sentence they started back and forth with, "Yeah, and the depression...and prohibition...and segregation...and rationing...and no air conditioning..."
No, I did not think you were being a smart@$$. Just that as much as I like Will Rogers sayings sometimes circumstances do not fit. There definitely is a tendency for people to put a rosy glow on the past conveniently forgetting the bad parts.Quote:

So it's nice waxing poetically about the good old days but they were really the bad old days.
The one that kills me are the people who say, "You know man like... We should all like, live like the native Americans did man... Like... Things would be so much better."
Really? Living in a mud hut? Crapping in a hole in the ground? Dying at 30 of an infected tooth or a staphe infection? IF you didn't die in childbirth or a.childhood disease? Or you could have your whole tribe massacred by mauraders and who would do anything about it? You can't honestly believe that. As bad as it could possibly be now we live longer, healthier, safer lives now than we ever have.
Not that that has anything to do with this discussion but that is how dillusional some people are
My goodness, but this thread took a very unexpected turn. :shrug::deadhorse:
Yeah, this post is busy getting sidetracked.:roflmao
