#1 This text data dump is useless, at the very least it should be in a spreadsheet and ideally should be in graphs.

#2 This ain't Excel Har and readers here have found it a Useful source of data. But in general thanks for helpful recommendations anyway. :-)

#3 We're not liberal idiots. We do know how to read and the format presented here is very readable and useful!

You just have to have an interest and understand the subject matter a bit.

The way badanov write this article works fine for me.

#4 As a shooter, I like badanov's insightful commentary as well. Missed it today. Oh well, I will just have to live without it until the next time or pen a piece myself.

#5 Thanks, all.

The only thing I was going to write was an informal range report:

I hadn't been shooting in nearly a year, so I went Tuesday to a private range. I won't bitch about the changes made since I was last there, but the owner did give a FOG discount, which was helpful.

180 rounds fired
No misfires
No jams

End of report.

#7 An attempt to move the TWIG archives to my blogs failed due to an insurmountable technical problem. I will be forced to move all ~40 TWIGs manually, and that will take time.

As an aside the changes in prices are almost breathtaking since the summer of 2013, when TWIG first was began.

Spoonful of mineral oil.

#13 summer of 2013, when TWIG first was began.

It’s been that long? I’d lost track. I’ve definitely shocked a few people by being able to discuss ammunition pricing trends, even if the data tables are beyond me. But baseball statistics are beyond me, too, so that isn’t surprising.
