Did you get enough people to pm you for the rally point yet? Lots of 2a sites going down today and I do not know what the story is with hosting here.

Edit:
My bad I missed the other post. Thanks for setting it up

I’m becoming clinically undepressed and thinking about beginning it all.

Obviously, your critical thinking skills are lacking.

It's a serious question -- probably more serious than your question.

The Internet is NOT the solution.  It has become the problem.  From an information perspective, it's a godsend for us research-aholics who thrive on learning new things and keeping abreast of changes in our career fields.

However, for the most part, it's also become an addiction for a large sector of the country.  Kids graduating high school and college can't remember facts or directions for how to do things without Googling them.  They are addicted to social media -- to the point that researchers say getting "likes" on a post or video is akin to the feeling one gets when playing a slot machine and winning.

It's also become a repository for your entire life, allowing outsiders to access your most critical and personal information -- that includes government agencies.

With all the bad actors using the Internet as a medium for their scams, misinformation, stalking, political messaging, and commercial ads, I believe there is at least as much bad on that information highway as there is good. 

I'm 59, but I bet I was doing more with computers, databases, digital communications and similar technologies in the 80s and 90s than many people do today.  Simply asking what old farts did before the Internet is a very narrow question.  Not all of us were/are technologically illiterate.

It was both a joke and a suggestion.

I was pointing out that before the internet the gun community still managed to exist. I was also making fun of our reliance on the internet these days.
