As we suspected, sore and neo's final payout depends on post-sale metrics. If those guys had already cashed checks they wouldn't be going through this effort of posting at these rates, especially Neo, who barely posted before. Hell, I don't know if that guy even owns any firearms; I would guess that he does, but can't recall him ever talking guns in all the years CSC has been around.
They post, create some activity and hope others will follow, keeping alive conversations solely for the purpose of metrics. But Don, I'm sure Neo's is psyched [several days later] that you're back.
And Neo, I'm sure you'll see this as you have been lurking here, Don says "Hi!".
