    Best wishes Gareth, and thank you for all your efforts with the forum.
    Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?

    Very sorry to hear this Gareth - though pleased for you, of course.

    You have always been the more moderate of the Mods and your steadying influence has, I am sure, helped to maintain a balanced approach to the difficult task of maintaining order.

    I hope that you will continue to make your valuable contributions to the "Gentleman's" section as a regular BBS member.

    ATB,
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    Gentlemen, I am genuinely touched by all your kind words. Many thanks. Going off line now, however, as I have a set of chalk animal targets to decimate at my plinking range.

    Farewell esteemed moderator, it's your efforts (and those of the other mods) that have helped to keep this forum genteel and civilised for the benefit of all of us.

    Thanks and good luck.

    Three hours a day. I'm lucky to find three minutes spare in one sitting.

    Thanks for your time and effort mate. Enjoy your new found free time.
