I wish people would give a clue as to where a link takes us.

It takes you to YouTube

The first ever transferable Colt forward assist M-16 presented to US Army chief of staff General Wheeler serial number CDS USA"US Army" 1 gold plated,highly buffed rifle is coming up for auction from the Wheeler family in Rock Island Auction Company for only those interested in firearm history, retired pig hunters and others with no interest or patients need not click.

Better???

[montana]

That would've been better.

Or you could've done this:

I don't know, "the way you posted it" it says nothing about the rifle being for sale on the Rock Island Auction company and that may upset some people who dislikes auctions and just wanted the history...... How about just clicking on what I post or not.

Or how about replying, great information, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you! Perhaps that is asking too much from people these days!

1. Quite a few years ago I clicked on a link that looked like it was sent by a friend but wasn't, and got a rootkit; the nastiest, hardest-to-get-rid-of malware out there. My computer was unusable for a week while I fought to get rid of it.

2. Life is short and I don't like wasting even 20 seconds trying to determine if a video is something I care about. You do your friends a favor by letting them know ahead of time.

I'm sorry Randy, are there any other special instructions you require before we post???

Yes, don't be a dick.

I explained why I don't like blind links and offered some advice that some might use to treat their friends better.

If you don't like blind links, don't click on them. As far as being a dick, you already won that title.

I put a link to an auction for a transferable, very first M-16 with a forward assist and thought some people would enjoy watching it, nothing more. Instead of a thank you reply, "or better yet no reply for trying to share" I get criticism for the way I posted and a whiny story on how I wasted 20 seconds out of some guys delicate life but has endless time to bitch about it, and then expects others to cater to his special needs for posting while he calls me a dick. No, I can not and will not get along with such people.

i am just trying to be a peace maker. nothing more. life is too short to get upset over little things. and just so you all know, i don't have a dick in the fight. lol
have you ever wondered how that little Richard got his name?? remember that we are all brothers in the grendel family.

Cool video. Beautiful rifle. Neat bit of M16 history. Thanks for posting!

Now you're going too far the other way

[A5BLASTER]
