Funny and really a little bit true.
I have an old scanner that I've programmed the local aircraft frequencies on.
I'll sit on the porch carving and listening in to the PSB and A/C bands.

It would have been nice to inform me WHY my account was suspended, in the 1st place
I only found out it was the spam filer by going on their forums
And found out it was happening to A LOT of other members

Scott,

This is along the lines of what I'm looking for. There are more detailed mechanical specs in the RFQ. But, this will give you an idea of what I'm looking for.

The MIL-K-818D does identify the criteria held important enough to test & verify, (for this specific knife model). Also, defines test parameters/procedures required for performance validation. Re: Sect 4, Quality Assurance Provisions.

LOL.
Nah, everything is about usual.
If I counted right there are only 10 of the listed complaints that pertain to me...

Like you said "So, lets have fun as we can, OK?"

Sorry Scott...no party. Just had a few drinks at a club with some friends. I'm not the party (big celebration for an accomplishment) type.

I'm more of a recluse. Plus, people don't usually like to hear from me. "HeyJT's looking for you. What! Why? what did I do?" LOL!

Mornin' my friend.
Looks like I'm the first one to say Happy Founders Day.
Hope you got your rest, you got a busy day. Be sure to double check your speach, you didn't spring for the teleprompter.
We got a couple of groups to play before your speach, not the greatest but they're knife folks too.
After your speachifying is over, you're scheduled to pass out the "Official Founders Day Knife"

We ordered 2000 and we're only 11 members short but the day is young, we've still got 21 hours to go.

Thankee, Scott!
I'm now an official "geezer", I guess.
I'd go out for a drink, but it makes me sleepy and I might have to go to bed and miss the six o'clock news.

The results of your hard work and dedication to iKC is seen in many unexpected places. Looks like your "Paperwork" is coming along just fine.

I got folks that send them to me now, from time to time. (Nice to have friends that look out for ya. ) Some, more than others, are compatable with iKC.

Me, I still look for the "Roadkill" inspired ones.

Saw one the other day, with a "Mr. Potato Head" theme. Thought of you!!!

Be sure to read how much things have changed (and stayed the same(?)) in the last 100 years. From the American Journal of Psychology, 1910.

Scott, with Ning switching to a pay service in July, will we be required to pay to be a member of iKnifeCollector, if so how much, or will you look for another free host site?

Thanks for the welcome Scott.This site seems a lot more friendly than another knife forum I've been at. More of an International flavor to the membership and greater variety in the types of knives they collect. I'm still getting used to the Format,so I'll be doin a lot of bouncing around for awhile.

I am a MBA graduate & specialist in marketing, So, i advise you to please when you are warning somebody who break rules for first time give him a smile and say this is not allowed when he repeat it then go on your own way. got it.
Thanks & Bye

Saw the pic on FB. They look REAL nice. Pitty that there are pureists that chose to pass on it, just because it is made in China.

They've just about got my leg healed up after that accident last August, and I'll be going up to the woods very cautiously this week to use the dozen new axes and saws I bought while city-bound. I sure appreciate what you and A.G. Russell did to get our iKC 2010 Club Knife into reality. I am looking forward to mine as a macho EDC blade, to go with my new StayGlow Yellow Victorinox SwissChamp and my Spyderco Pacific Salt. Hopefully the two yellow knives will minimize my having to do a "Mantracker" and find where I laid a dark knife on the ground. About 30 years ago I borrowed a buddies Estwing pick, and it took me 4 hours to retrace my steps in the desert to find it. Now my stuff gets some brighter paint, tape or handle. See my pix for my fav dozen little camp axes, at high res.

Yep, I guess the Post Office does have its share of problems...

I sent you a message and just wanted to get it in a second time just in case.
I would like to get the Sunfish Club Knife if it's still available.
