Allow me to add something. I get really miffed when someone tells me I'm stealing his thread! Well if that person thinks so, perhaps he/she should step back a few paces and think again.
We are all here to learn from one another. Sometimes, a specific question may spark an adjacent idea which may appear to be off topic. This occurs because too many folks do not process spacial vision capabilities, better known as narrow mindedness! So if there is an emoticon or dislike button, their first instinct is to push it, as they rant their frustration towards your theft!
If you want to see an example of how it should be done, look at the responses from our very own Doctor Bob. Not only does he answer the questions, he mentions what is going to happen if you don't follow his advice, even if you didn't ask for it! This is exactly how knowledge should be shared. We should all welcome these types of responses, not chastise them like too many other airgun-related sites allow their users to do!
As my personal motto states; Set the example... Don't be one!
A friendly place to share one's interest in all things airguns.
