What's going on with Dixie Gunworks

We can all relate to "Ralphie" angst on waiting for his decoder ring....

At the postal service it likely works both ways. Used to be postal workers earned good wages with great benefits and retirement. Often they were veterans. Now many of those things have been cut with much less job security. Our mail used to be trucked 50 miles away to be sorted now it goes over 100 miles before coming back.

The postal unions have really affected that.

Young people don’t care. I have a relative that goes on about not being able to get a good job. Then proceeds to whine how big companies “need to learn” that they can’t treat workers a certain way. Well, maybe stop quitting your job when they don’t kiss your butt and dare tell you what to do. And, when you get a big tattoo on your neck, and they don’t hire you, whose fault is that? Of course, he said “only boomers like you care”. Well, I have a job. I work. I can get a job tomorrow if I lost this one. Most young people are entitled and think they are great. Ugh.

Wonder how many e-mails they get daily and how many folks they have employed who have to answer them?

That’s a good question but everyone else that I’ve emailed has answered in a couple of days or not at all. It’s the not at all that chaps me

I was told they only have three people running the shop right now.

I have a similar problem on forums that the posters rely heavily on acronyms.
If I see an acronym in the first sentence, or even the subject line, I move on. Life is too short to try to hunt up what they are talking about. Or if it was a typo. Which I'm much more forgiving of.

I'm old school that way. If there's one thing I remember from English class it is to never use a pronoun or acronym without first using the proper name/noun.

So I can feel your pain.

Oh, FWIW, YMMV, TIA

I agree with the acronym thing Say what you are talking about I am 72 and don't know this manure and don't want to learn. One of the post was talking about NASA bullet lube what the devil is that. I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with space but then again since I don't know maybe it does.

LOL, I saw that post.
I guessed it might be about a complicated formula for making lube. Like maybe it is rocket science and over complicated.
But I didn't care enough to find out.

I have no idea what the Sharps guys are talking about in that thread anymore with IAB or whatever they are typing. And I own an 1859 Sharps.
Oh well.

I ordered a pistol kit from Dixie last week on Friday 02/24, it arrived today, 03/01, in Wisconsin. I'm more than happy with that ! It was shipped out the same day I ordered it.
