I'm not sure if a registered member can do it or not (maybe they can), but I do know that a Gold and up can put posters on their "ignore" list too. :thumbup:

Yep! Even us lowly registered users can enjoy the ignore feature! :D
IF I couldn't though, I would definately go gold :D Maybe something for Spark to consider LOL :D

There are benefits to being a gold member, but when the time is right I will sign back up ;)

Welcome Greg,

A hardy welcome from 2 1/2 hours south and a fellow Pennsylvanian. I went to college in Edinboro(well more passed through). I know Plum helped me through the process of getting Gold, it seems to have taken forever. Now that I'm gold I love it. Again welcome

Very strange. My application to Gold Membership was done on-line and went through instantly.......more like four minutes than four days.

Maybe it's more difficult and time-consuming now.

I'd encourage Dave to try it. Feels good to help to support the best knife discussion forum on the internet!!

:thumbup:
 
Normally I follow Dave's advice and the old adage, "No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority."

But in this case--I think it's reasonable to make an exception for the voice of experience.

:D
 
I see a lot of quotes of Patton on here. Loved his ideas.
If George S. Patton . Was in charge.
Was our pres. How do you think he would have handled whats been handed to us since sept./11
 
Oh, Brains......that's another no-no here.

Such questions only lead to trouble and strife and the ensuing disorder leads to a moderator intervention.

Politics goes on other forums especially designed for trouble and strife.

We have knife topics here. How about something like knowing the difference between Micarta and wood? You seemed to have some trouble on an earlier thread.

;)

Now that's a good question..... I wonder if Patton had a buck knife... :D
 
He liked Ek.

It is reported that President Franklin D. Roosevelt kept a John Ek Commando Knife on his desk in the White House until the time of his death. This certainly seems possible, as photographs exist of John Ek with a large display of Ek Commando Knives on exhibit in the White House in 1944.

General George S. Patton, Jr. also owned a John Ek Commando Knife (as did several of his subordinates). John Ek even named his Model No. 6 the "Patton Knife." Captain Clark Gable, while not necessarily expecting to see combat, was none-the-less a customer of John Ek -- thinking that if the situation took him in harm's way, he would have a dependable knife.

Although it would have been an earlier model, Patton may possibly have carried something that looked like this:

Hard to say.......there are so many stories about Patton.
