Wolfdog91, some of us are older than you so we've had to put up with a world full of REALLY PRIDEFUL people, men & women, for longer than you.
I enjoy your posts as they are ground level reality reads and you seem to "work with people" or at least want to at times.
Well, here's the deal.
You're explaining what some of us have shook our heads at a longer time than you is all...
and that's just the way of this world.
Some folk are prideful and that's about all they have. They argue that of course, saying they're right on point.
Their pride. It nourishes them. Feeds them. Sustains them though thick and thin. It's their shield against people, especially like you, who are not as prideful. In reality pride is their very best friend.
Pride is boastful so they're better than you.
Pride is jealous so what they have is better than what you have.
Pride is selfish so what's theirs is not yours.
All of us have pride in us.
Some people just get real good at swinging their pride hammer better and more often is all.
Welcome to the rest of this life brother!
Smile and wave sir.
Smile and wave.
Blessings,
Mark

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,is not of the father,but is of the world.  Well stated.

The old guys ain't always right.
The young guys tend to think the older guys are never right.
Contribute what you can; but, give credit to whom it is due.

Had the same situation a life time ago Now the tables have turned. I enjoy listening and learning from the younger generation. The most important thing I've learned is to listen. That is of course with the do do meter cranked up. Good plan. A fella once told me that you don't learn a thing by talking.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I used to be the young guy , well sometimes I still am
now I work with people who were in diapers when I started working there and now they have kids in diapers
I worked with the one girls grandmother who retired last year
so I have been seeing her come visit Grandma since her dad was hauling her in the car seat to visit grandma and now she has one in a car seat
even given that I am often still the youngest volunteer at many gun club events , it is kinda sad
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I understand completely Wolfdog.
Also, everyone wanted to prove that their "life experience" trumped any real, specific qualifications or training you may have on any given subject. The goal often seemed to prove that you could not possibly be better informed on any topic simply due to the fact that you were young.
This this this. When it come to fun stuff I like to thinker and experiment it's how my brain is wired. Most if the older guys I'm in these circles with don't like that to say the very least and most of them will make is a mission to knock the idea out of my head. It won't work because ABCD and I'll counter we'll have you ever tried XYZ because it seems to me it could work if you did 567 instead of 123. 9/10 times I'm genuinely just curious ( ask anyone who's met me I ask ALOT of questions) Then almost like clock work the whole "I've been doing this since before you where born " comes up with a quote of their life experience. Alot of times my questions are view as insulting it seems. I'm been told " just do what some tells you and stop trying to rethink the wheel " more times then I can count. But that's the fun for me.And Lord forbid I'm actually right about something. It will be picked over to find every flaw or just tossed out as a fluke. I don't care most of the time but gets old. Currently me and bullet casting are like this. I've been told the best groups I'd get with my gun and cast would be 4" @50yd best group to date is 1.3"@50 all my groups where under 3.5". I've had people tell me no no that was just a fluke no way that's possible I tried so many times I'm so much more experienced ect. But when I say I'm doing this in a manner they never did then it's  well you get it. I gotta say: The young guy studies all the available information, comes to a conclusion that works; and claims he is some kind of genius.... I doubt it very much. Think of where that information base came from! Sorry, wolfie, you need to think of where your info came from.

Now when did I ever claim to be a genius? .... I guess we are getting a bit closer to being on the same page. You do come up with some great innovations. Too bad you never give credit for your inspirations.

Too bad you never give credit for your inspirations. Since when exactly? Ask me where one of my ideas came from and I'll gladly tell you where I got the idea from. If it's something I've actually came up with on my own however it's a complete different deal Like with my casting series videos I constantly mentioned other casters and reloaders. I don't mention alot of stuff because I've learned people will toss something out because it's related to a person's name.
