I joined the AH Fox Collectors so I could get to the "AHFCA Members only section" of their (our) BBS. We could do the same thing here. Not a recommendation, just a free idea.
When correcting beginnerss mistakes here we could be overly tactful and careful with our words. Those among us that just can't be overly tactful could refrain from correcting the new forum members errors until the beginner feels he is part of the group.
If we want people to join we want to be friendly and helpful to them, especially when they are just getting started. Stating the obvious there are two different memberships, the BBS membership and the PGCA membership. It would seem the first would sometimes lead to the second.
The PGCA is the largest and most successful of the American shotgun collectors associations as is.
Best,
Mike
