Ah we found it! It appeared to be the bottom of the box, so we nearly missed it, thank you! We'll be sure to read it on the next podcast. And thanks again for the figures! They're currently residing on our mantle.

2023-11-30 17:10:31 +0000 UTCIf you guys needed extra time for a gun episode I wouldn’t mind a primer being replaced with a special that’s just a biography of colts life where it just goes from funny story to funny story

2023-11-30 11:11:31 +0000 UTCI'm now financially stable enough to support C&Rsenal again, and I've been loving listening through all these podcasts! I hope you guys keep these up. I would especially love if you guys were able to get more guests on even if it isn't relevant to what you guys have been doing recently. Just a chat with you and someone like Johnathan Furgeson, Ian, Rob, Blokeontherange/Chap(can't remember their names) ETC over the phone would be cool, even if it's only once and a while.

2023-11-29 20:04:54 +0000 UTCSounds like what you need for emails is to hire a person PT/WFH to vet your emails an hour or two a day. Someone that has a least a basic knowledge of things that go bang and decent Google-fu to be able to say "that's a Crescent made store brand" or "Per the proof marks its X". Give them a whitelist of people like Jonathon F, and a sketch of upcoming projects that you might be actively looking for. You get a human response, a disconnect that preserves your sanity, while, frankly, providing an excuse if necessary for dropped balls.

2023-11-29 13:50:00 +0000 UTCI agree with Andrew on the structured emails. I put (name - Issue/subject) in the title. Then a detailed paragraph in the body. Followed by a Separate summary sentence. Also I have an 84 Varago 1000. My only advice is to get one that runs good. Carb parts are hard to come by unless you convert to a single carb for ~$400.

2023-11-29 12:16:37 +0000 UTCOutlook/exchange has some pretty powerful auto-filtering and sorting features for emails. You can set up macro-like rules to automatically sort or reply to emails. If you put on the website some strong *hints* at how to structure the email's subject line you might be able to have outlook help filter your important emails. Of course it's entirely dependent on people writing an email in a way that won't miss the filter. As you continued I realize you aren't wanting email filtering. That's just human junk. Idk how that works :(
