Then don't read your private message and don't email me and I won't send you the informative, time and money-saving gear review.

[Kevin Finnerty]

I can't believe that I failed to do a computer operation properly. It's the first time that's ever happened to me.

Been a few years since I spent some serious money on gear and while I am not suggesting that you do what I did, here is where I got various things from.

I went with Honig's for most of the stuff, because they have always been pretty good to me.

Honig's
Shirts (Long sleeve Black, Short sleeve Black and Powder Blue)
Plate Pant's (their ML style one's, They fit the West Vest Shins very well)
Base Pant's (their ML one's)
Indicators (the 3 ball and 2 strike one)
Wilson Titanium Frame Mask
Tan Doe skin pads for the mask
NB 995 base shoes
Large Black Ball bags (theirs has pockets inside the bags for stuff, pens/line-ups/bruse/indicator)
Black Jacket with white over shoudler
Black convertible jacket the half zip one on the arm
Black Plate coat
Richardson hats (I wear 6 stich on plate and base)

Joe West's Site
West Vest Gold CP (my old one was purchased in 1997)
West Vest Shins (my old ones were purchased in 1997)

Lester's Upstate sports
Black Ankle length McDavid's with cup pocket (only place I could find em in the country in black with cup pocket)

Jim Evan's website online store
Travel bag on wheel's my old Honig's one has seen better days, and honig's no longer makes em and I can't locate a Swiss one at the moment

SOS Sport
Reebok-Low plate shoes (I am returning the same shoe to Honig's because a friend told me that these guys can get the same plate shoe in a EE width and with two pair of socks the regular width is killing me after 3 days of wearing them around the house)

Target
Black socks

Sports authority
Under armor

Have fun shopping I did!

Just to be accountable and publicly state the reason for my "censorship", two posts have just been removed from this (several month old and otherwise dead) thread. One was a spam post -- trying to get us to buy some bag. One was your apparent response to that post.

[Kevin Finnerty]

Very nice. And very patronizing. A non-controversial, lame spam post is deleted and you take that opportunity to account for your censorship practices.

I'm still looking forward to the first time you account for censoring a thoughtful, meaningful, relevant post or series of posts that are censored because of your obvious bias in favor of select members of this forum. You also censor and then fail or refuse to respond when questioned why.

As always, I am not merely speaking for myself, but for others whose posts are censored because you choose to censor or lock rather than moderate.

We're adults, Bob. It's only fair that we be accorded the respect that adults have earned.

They're accountable, though ... normally.

And this isn't "crying," it's a simple plea for fairness and responsibility, which is what umpiring is based on.
