I just want to take a moment to recognize and give a hearty THANK YOU! to:

scuzzy

and

yellowhousejake

for joining me to move the website to a new server. O0  Now back to work.... &)

That being said, I need everyone to be on the look out for anything strange or unexpected with the website and forum.  We will be keeping a close eye on things server side as well.

Thank you - Bill 3

Criticism is the only known antidote to error.  David Brin

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

I'd also like to Thank Bill3, Scuzzy, and Yellowhousejake for their hard work and contributions to getting the new improved server switched so quickly. I didn't even notice any down time.

Great job! Thanks guys.

Who can make a spelling correction on the main page of www.appleseedinfo.org? :)

1st page of your web site ,  first paragraph:
"The Appleseed Program is designed to take you from being a simple rifle owner to being a true rifleman. All throughout American history, the rifleman has been defined as a marksman capable of hitting a man-sized target from 500 yards away -- no ifs, ands or buts about it. This 500-yard range is traditionally known as "the rifleman's quarter-mile;" a rifleman can hit just about any target he can see.
This skill was particulary evident in the birth of our country,   ........"

The word should   correctly read   particularly

To Scuzzy, Yellowhousejake and Bill3,

Thanks for the seamless forum change.  Very nice!!  I noticed the spellcheck right off.  Some of our spelling errors made me cringe!!!  That's the problem with having a mother and grandmother and aunt who were all grade school teachers.  We were constantly corrected on our grammar.   %)

I have, however noticed an ommision of a very important nature~~~the cool2 emoticon, who looks over his sunglasses at you, is missing!!!!  :o 

I really liked that little guy!!  Anyway to get him added back into our list?   8)  (See, I would be peeking over my glasses at you right now, but I can't)   :'(

lol  Thanks for all you do!!!

thanks for all the hard work on the server mods.

I was trying to reply to to a thread in WL1 deals and steals. I don't seem to have a reply button available to me. It isn't like that on all the sections I have gone to to experiment, but it is on some. Specifically, I get it in "Announcements - After Action Reports" and "WL1 - Deals and Steals". There may be more, but I have to leave for school.

I don't have the cash to buy the Dillon, but I wanted to find out the state since he was giving away the loading bench if it was FTF. I thought someone might want to know how far they had to drive.

thanks

But, the price they paid to win us our liberty? Few of us can comprehend it. Even fewer of us would want - or even be willing - to pay it. But all of us should know - at least - about it.

Fixed to be 2009. Hope I can remember to be 2010 in another month.

I'm not sure how the copyright works myself. Does the date actually have to be updated yearly to be valid? I have no idea.
