Everyone is in a different place on a learning curve. So rather than 'stupid' questions, many are naive because we have not got to that point in our learning. When we stop asking questions, we stop growing our knowledge base, our brains then atrophy and it is then a short road to boot hill. So keep asking.

Dave has clarified the rules. It's BEFORE entering the contest.

Seems like these new members may be thinking they'll get to 10 posts by the time the drawing takes place, but I don't know if that's how it works...
Fore or aft the entry request I think, is Evans point. Dunno.

Right. That's why I raised it. Just hope folks don't give up or turn away because they didn't read the rules or understand them completely.

not an issue to worry about .... if you take a look at the signup thread you will see this icon ==> :idea: on some post .... at the time the member requested to be added, if they didn't have a sufficient number of post, they are notified by PM along with an individual explanation .... the :idea: is then added to their entry to signify a PM has been sent

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I cannot tell you how much I have learned from the good people here. What an education!

We are all an understanding and tolerant bunch. You will not be put down or made to feel bad.

We subscribe to the 'no stupid question ' theory.

Please, be a part of a great educational and friendly discussion.
Could not agree more. Look at me, I was nervous to reload and after all the encouragement I received from members I bought all the reloading gear, haven't ate or slept for days, wife might have left me but not sure cuz I can't stop making bullets long enough to check.

Thanks guys...
