Thank you, Gryphon, this comment convinced me to delete the rest of what I asked. You can keep all the information you posted except for my question.
None of the answers you guys gave are gone.

Its a vaild question since no one has really collected information about used guns. We can all read reviews of new guns, but there is no information about long term use.
for example, we all know plastic M4s break, but what about long term use of metal recievers. Its nice to know how guns actually hold up to punnishment.

And seeing as Greylocks tends to make guides, with all due respect, he has always put info to use. For all you know, he was gathering information to summerize into a FAQ thread later...like many of his other FAQ threads.

Not only are you a hypocrite, you're a baby. "I'm taking my ball and going home!" Unbelievable.

I appreciate the perspective although I respectfully submit that isn't the case here. He stated quite clearly in his opening post (before he removed it like a petulant child) that he was gathering information for a friend. There was no point to having it deleted and every reason to leave it up, and given his rabid adherence to the principles of self-learning you would think he'd agree. Sadly he's demonstrated that's not the case.

I was planning to redo the question in a more manageable method. Your bitching came close to making me stop altogether.
Read the other thread. You can refuse to contribute to it too if you feel you won some kind of contest.
I have the same right as anyone here to see a thread I STARTED locked or removed.
Instead of bitching about the removal and calling me all kinds of things, you could have suggested what I'm about to do anyway.

Maybe you do have the right to delete your own thread. But that doesnt mean you should. And you of all people shouldnt. If you cant see how incredibly hypcritical it is of you to suggest deleting this thread, well..... Even if you are making a different thread, do you think that everyone who posted in this thread will post again in your new thread? I doubt it. Bottom line is this. You are suggesting deleting helpful information which could give answers to someone looking for a gun. If we delete all threads that have been answered, where are you going to tell people to get their information? The search function would be useless. You'll be out of a job.

I'll say this though. If this does get deleted, and someone comes along asking what a solid/indestructable gun would be, you have no right to post anything in that thread.

No one used to fight with Greylocks more then me, but you cannot find anyone else here who has taken as much time to write guides and information pages.
Besides, it was concluded thats the thread, in its current state, wasnt useful, since there were many biased oppinions and a real conclusion was had to make from the thread.
I find it hard to belive that the guy who works harder then anyone else to make informaton avaliable, is requesting to have the thread removed for the purpose of taking information away.
Drop it, stop looking for a fight.

Seconded
