Thanks Not every aspect of life here is nice, but there's a good ratio of sun to rain!

Hope you have a better time on this forum, I too was kicked off another forum for making a political statement in the private part of the forum that is invisible to people who are not logged into the forum. I was quite surprised as I had seen several posts by others in the private section that I didn't morally agree with yet those people are still on the forum to my knowledge.
Thanks for the advice I looked very seriously at the HWs before plumping for the Snowpeak - if I get another air pistol it'll be a replica, though. Handling the DW715 on a regular basis made a big improvement in my comfort of shooting a S&W 357 Magnum with the weight, reloading, grip, sight picture, etc being very similar it meant I could concentrate on the important part of actually hitting the target! I'm not after being competitive with airguns, so that's enough for me

As for talking politics, a good faith discussion with someone you don't see eye to eye with can be constructive, or at least informative. To me, though, to speak one's mind in the middle of a relevant discussion and then be banned (and have all mention of you erased) shows that what is valued there is power rather than honesty.
