    Might be an idea to prune all the 'I see dead people' stuff off this thread and leave the posts about the BRPR range progress in it?

    Mods?

    What I find the most annoying this about this board (ye did ask) is that the threads have little relevance to the subjects - so if you are reading it as it happens you may have an idea but if you are searching for something the thread titles are of no use - e.g. this one - I am on page 3 of a thread about the ballyhoura ranges and I only have one or two posts on page one are relevant. I would suggest liberal use of a secatuers - I don't mean to delete the posts but cut them off into a 'bullsh1t of the week' thread or some such.

    By the way - great news for Ballyhoura - best of luck - look forward to trying to all out when it's done

    (they'll only be talking about diggers and other tractor porn down there for the next while methinks :-)

    Sparks,
    It's the usual story with message boards/forums. As the forum gets more popular with more regular posters, the SNR inevitably drops.
    As the regulars become more & more disillusioned & post less frequently, so the SNR drops even more.

    AAaaaah, our old friend the SNR. I was wondering when this would emerge!
    This ratio is usually measured in deci****s (dS).


    If the incoming volume of posts in written lines is Vs, and the word misspelling level, also in written lines, is Vn, then the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, in deci****s is given by the formula

    S/N = 20 log10(Vs/Vn)
    If Vs = Vn, then S/N = 0. In this situation, the content borders on unreadable, because the bull**** level severely competes with it. In Boards.ie communications, this will probably cause a reduction in data speed because of frequent errors that require a Moderator to refine some packets of data. (changing pure ****e to absolute ****e, or indeed, even manageable packets of deci****e.) (N.B. Use of CAPITALS in posts is a major distorting influence, as is bold writing. Multiply V by 2 and 3 respectively to attain coherency.


    Ideally, Vs is greater than Vn, so S/N is positive. As an example, suppose that Vs = 10.0 wordcount and Vn = 1.00 wordcount . Then

    S/N = 20 log10(10.0) = 20.0 dS
    which results in the Content being clearly readable.


    Doesn’t always make it interesting or informative, though. :D
    P.
    Still got too much time.

    just to clarify , 98b is indeed correct and the applicant is different .
    not been privy to such information or the forms or the contacts he has I was not aware of it .

    while this hames of a thread has done nothing for any of us it has certainly made me wish I had posted nothing and in the future will not be givinging anything away to what I suspect are intrested parties (but not for shooting porposes)

    so bar to occasional post of thanks/well dones or questions that I have personally (and my post on brpr was just that .. a personal one) I wont be posting anything else .

    so who evers name is on the form for the range I wish them well ..

    It was this post from 98b that did it for me ..

    "We are informed up here that the devolepments on the BRP range currently "commencing" are within the overall scope of the origional range,
    New range development for "3oo" range is under new applicant."

    oh and this "To those of you who get off on attacking others and writing sometimes threatening and volitile posts, dont forget some of us could be on this site a long time in many forms." you never know who you are talking to here , I'll save my chat for the range in future :)

    so take what you will from it, but I know what I will so will say no more .

    safe shooting all
    Dar

    Getting back to the main point of this thread,is it the owner of the location who is openeing the 300m range or is it dave???
    would like to see clay shooting at the range also,keep all options open and you get more members.

    also on the previous comments about moles etc, best thing to do if you suspect the poster has other motives other than general shooting interests is to simply ignore the posts and move on to the real issue.
