Charlie,
Brad is a busy guy. Unlike pretty much everything these days he started AA NOT to make money ( wow huh? ) but rather to help folks who might be into airguns. Haave you read the many many airgun articles ? Do you remember airguns before 2000 ? Ever use the first airgun calculators posted on line? Again the first web site to help us all, on and on.
AA web site is NOT a business ( at least not by design, sure "click" ad's are now present, tis the way it is as time moves forward) but keeping it running is a full time job, along with his real full time+ job, the Church, family ,....
When you notifie ( "them" nope ) him of a bad ad, IF he is around w/time & access - not like you can fix thing from your Job- when you inform him of a bad ad it is gone in seconds.
Now this is just my opinion but folks need to look out for them selves a bit ( like you did with the picture search) and take responsibility for their own decisions.
It's not a business, it is a gracious gift to airgunners. I personally have had a solid 200+ deals on "that site" and not one bad deal. Only ever had 2 problems buying/selling airguns and both were from Forums.
A couple of decades of just helping people, what is wrong with "them"?
