Shame on me? Really? Are you serious? Do you know me?
For the record, I am very pleased that Blade Magazine was kind enough to put me and my knife in the Knifemakers Showcase. It is a great honor, as there are many other knifemakers that are much better than I am, and probably deserve to have their work featured more than mine. I think Blade is a fine publication and I respect all the writers and editors involved in publishing each issue. I also am thankful for what Blade has done for the knife community. I also want to thank each of you that have supported me.
Now PoP, I don't know you from Adam and it looks like you've managed to post a whopping 18 times over the last year, and nothing with any real substance. I will tell you that I am giving you the benefit of the doubt of far as your attempt at humor. But, I really don't get it. The content of most knife mags is about 5-6 months behind what's on the forums, so I don't see how having a subscription is going to help me be a better moderator, but maybe you didn't know that since you've only posted 18 times over the last year. Also, I don't subscribe to any magazine (knife or other) or newspaper. It is a lot of paper and not something I find necessary with the information available on the internet. This is a no drama forum per Tracy's rules, so this is where I will stop.
