I bailed from GBO forums a long time ago. I didn't wait to be banned. Personally, I have never had a problem with him or SSK, and use too many SSK products to bash them. They have served me well and JDJ has taken care of me in every aspect of our dealings. But I sure won't say anything bad about Belm either, as all my dealings with him have been equally good. However, the way GB ran his board was the pits. It became such a mess that I BBtB (Bailed Before the Ban). The only thing about GB is that he is now hanging out on another BB that I frequent, and if he tries to take over on that board (I think he is friends with this BB owner-but don't quote me on that-and could wind up a moderator )then that BB will surely go down the crapper. It doesn't get that many hits anyway, so with GB there things surely will not improve if he gets mod status.

He never could take the criticism. I left before I was banned, but feel left out because I never made it into the elite group.

Dear MePlant,
Thank you for the kind words, I deserved them. I have never put down ANYBODY before on ANY forum ANYWHERE, till now. I was there in the beginning with Mike Bellm, when my name was *supermagforever* and watched that forum grow and then rot away. A lot of good people were hurt that should not have been, and it made me angry. I will try to keep things more professional now that I have spoken my piece. It was me that posted the below quote to Mike Bellm in one of our conversations, and the reason he started his *Famous Quotes* on his website. I will keep you all up to date on the .225win. barrel as things progress. Oh by the way, I snagged up a set of CH4D dies in .225 IMP. and will rechamber that barrel in the near future and have some real fun.

Rich, I still love the quote.

I should frame it on the wall for daily inspiration.

Did CH have any more of the .225 Imp. dies? I desperately need a set.... wish I had known. If that was the only set he had and I had known it, you wouldn't have gotten them!!!!!

I have a barrel needing a home, but have to get a set of dies for it first!

Rich I didn't know that you had changed your screen name! Glad to see that you haven't disappeared. Every once in a while a couple of the old names just stop showing up & you wonder what happened to them. I'm happy to see that wasn't your case.

Mike, I don't know if they do or not, I got these from a friend of mine. But Give them a call and ask.
Good luck my friend.....:-)
