[601reconteam]

Whoever has picked a double number where you weren't the original person to pick it,
please choose another number that hasn't been picked between 1-125. I'm about ready to close
this giveaway and do my best to get this kit out to someone Tuesday morning. I'm going
to pick a winner tomorrow evening, announce it here, then they will PM me their mailing address.

Not that I don't like the thread or anything, I just don't see a significant enough number of new
participants between now and Friday. Yeah...let's wrap this up.

Ok, let it change from 13 to 113.... 113 it is!

EDIT: If I win I will leave one item I like, and send the rest to the next new member joining the boards.

[EntropyFx]

Jeez Guys!!! Sirthivealist puts up an offer of a freebie for his 2000th post and some of you go in to typical American "GIMME THAT" mode!

I stand very little chance of "winning" - 1% or less - but I still took a random chance just in case.

I find it amazing how the attitude of members of this forum has changed over the last year or so, from a group of dedicated and helpful individuals with a common purpose - to a bunch of petty minded individualists who take every chance possible to pick on the newbies or make nasty replies to their questions!

I have been a lurker here for quite a while before officially joining the forum and while there is always a place for sarcasm and pure evil thoughts (dark side and others...) most of the posts and comments that are made are constructive and helpful.

I find it quite amazing that you guys can stand there with your hand out expecting a freebie, while bitching about the quality and quantity of said handout!

Rant over/

Just pick a number and take a chance - there is nothing to lose and something to win!!

Thank you again to Sirthrivealist for the donation of time and effort to sit and go through the thread to collate all the numbers and to whomever the lucky number holder is, well done and good luck to you.

[Straza]

Seriously, gimme that

I am an American I deserve it

Love Straza

[Bushcraft101]

Ill take 95 if it hasnt been taken yet. Thanks again for doing the giveaway.

[Mjbarb]

could I have 84 then, please?

[Wott469]

@9mmparrabellum - not an american hater, just someone who has to deal with the "gimme" mentality every day and is tired of seeing the same BS all over the world. I actually am in the process of trying to find work in your country because of the treatment I am being given here at home.

Because I am white, over 45 and male immediately excludes me from government assistance in my own country, I am not allowed to own a firearm for self defence, my property can be taken from me and handed to a "disadvantaged person of color" with no legal recourse. I am unable to get a job because of a ridiculous law that was repealed 18 YEARS AGO!!!!! All new jobs are firstly offered to uneducated blacks whether they have the qualifications or not, and generally

White folks are being racially abused on a daily basis in my country and the government ignores it on the grounds of "you whities did this to us, so we just returning the favor"

So - in answer to your comment - not an American hater, but just tired of the BS Americans Are Better And Should Always Be Considered First attitude.

--------------------------------------------------

So as not to hijack this thread any further, can a moderator copy my two statements and use them to create a new thread in this forum or in the preferred forum for this kind of comment and PM the new location to me and I will be quite happy to continue the cheap shots and nasty remarks - which if you note was the exact comment that I made to start this argument....

LOL! In everybody's defense, I've only found one participant who "had" a poor attitude IMO.
I think everybody else has been cool about it. I'd be happy for anybody to have it. I know it's
going to go to a good home. And I'd have to give DBR the credit for crunching the numbers.
He's become my default partner in this deal and if he doesn't win the kit, there will be something
in his mailbox anyway for what the time he's put in to helping sort out for his fellow participants.

This has turned into a WIN/WIN/WIN thread and I'm getting far more out of it than I've given up.
At the end of the giveaway, I will name two members who've also "payed it foward" to me, but I
want to wait so that if they win, there will be no cries of favoritism.

[RgnCjn12]

Hope I'm not too late.

I'll take #58.

Thanks.
