We’re nearly a week out from having met people in Bradford. My sincere thanks to those who participated. We had a good time, and once again learned a lot from those who showed up. For those whom I offended in the Brookville area (I didn’t send any email until the day before, and the morning of the event) yes, you were correct, email notices in advance correlated with increased attendance.

On the way back, my beloved co-worker took mercy on my boredom and when we stopped in Ridgway to fuel up, we took a quick tour of River Valley Surplus, where I scored a pack of milsurp 7.62×25 to feed to my favorite tokarev. The folks there seem like down right good people. And if they happen to be reading this and want to knock another $50 off of that swedish rifle behind the counter, I’ll be making another run up there soon….

In unrelated news, during the first week of June I put into place a filter on ad submissions. If three ads are removed in a nine day period, no additional ads are accepted from that account until those removed ads are at least nine days in the past. I meant to make note of that here, but I apparently failed to do so. Until recently ads with paid upgrades were still accepted. A few individuals have made it clear to me though, that if I’m going to reject the free ads, it is best if I reject all ads, and that is now the case.
Thanks,
Chris

PS. I got called on my earlier blog (July 14). I’m not actually 18. (The folks at River Valley didn’t sell pistol ammo to an underage web developer). Apparently when meeting me in person, it is obvious that I’m not 18 anymore. And someone read my blog post!

PPS – July 29, 2010 – My sincere apologies to the good people of Ridgway for the fact that I misspelled Ridgway. I’m 51% geek, and 49% redneck, and it doesn’t take much for my spelling to fail me.
