If you weren’t confused before, you will be after this.

i wasn't confused by his post, hmmmmmm..

 

[jds holler]

I've got a hunch that he's still getting the last laugh! jd

That was his bread and butter! And only he knew the answers. The rest of us? We're just dumb.

I personally think he just insisted on speaking about datums and the whole 'cannot bump a shoulder' routine simply because he insisted on sticking to precise terms instead of engaging in commonly recognized terms.
As if he saw himself as on a level of knowledge well above all those around him. And using those commonly recognized terms would tarnish his self-image.
Arrogance.
Unnecessary. Unproductive. Tedious.
I don't know exactly who said it, or exactly how it was worded. I've heard it attributed to Einstein but no matter who it was, it's spot on.
'If you can't explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough.'
Can't say as I miss him at all.
I'm sure he's off somewhere else grinding that axe.

!!
And my understanding is it was an Einstein quote.

Why did @Dusty Stevens stop posting here? He was such a wealth of good info and had a simple-to-understand logic about him.

But yeah, guffey was a trip. The tapeline around the block to measure his front porch is perfect..........

 

[jelenko]

Did he/does he actually shoot rifles?
The reason I ask is, from the limited number of posts I've seen, he would elaborate and insist on why the tape around the block was the ONLY way to measure the front porch. It led me to wonder how much actual experience he had/has.

I'm sure that Tesla, Einstein, and Musk often felt misunderstood by the general masses also. jd

I bet Manson and Dahmer did too.

Actually a very good question. I read many of his posts. Really for my own entertainment. But I do not recall him ever mentioning a rifle or cartridge that he was or had shot.

 

[jds holler]

I've run into him on another forum, and I think that he may have honed his skills in the pursuit of fitting, fixing, and sizing brass to fit old mismatched 303 Brit chambers and bolts.

It's been quite a while, and my memory --- well you know, but I was left with that idea somehow,

Back in the day, there were butt-loads of old milsurp rifles around that required God only knows what kind of custom reloading. Folks were poor, brass was precious, and things that seem ridiculous today were carefully done in the pursuit of our hobby. Kind of like keeping an old 1958 International Harvester pick-up running into the modern days. jd

He made me think, more so when people agreed. We might all be there if we live long enough.

Not certain, but I believe it was related to the needs of raising young children. I miss his posts too!

I had seen posts on other forums he frequented where he states he had a M1917, which fits as most everything he would allude to was milsurp stuff.
