I guess I'm not in the loop. Who is the dropout?

[Rich Anderson]

When I logged on this am my designation was forum member as I haven't paid my dues. My membership doesn't expire until Dec 1 but John said it was something to do with the Pay Pal account and so on. I see it has been changed back by powers beyond my control.

[Mills Morrison]

Glad we didn't lose you Rich

[Rich Anderson]

I haven't paid yet....we will see.

[Dean Romig]

Come on Rich - join up... you already know it's a good organization.

I'm not bitchen Larry, your missing the point as well.

[Dean Romig]

I think we all get the point...

I don't think I would pay $5,000 or $50,000 for a life insurance policy if I didn't think I would benefit from it. But I might buy a $500 policy if I knew I might be able to help direct the managers of the fund which might result in better benefits for all the policy-holders, including myself. But then I could just pay the standard annual premium and receive the really great quarterly dividends that the "fund" provides and call it even.

It really has nothing to do with a 'level of dedication' but simply what one wants to give and receive.

:dh:

Rich,
No I'm not, the point is this thread was started to congratulate Julia Mills for becoming a member of the PGCA and some how you made it all about Rich.

Every day hundreds of people come to this site to learn about Parker Shotguns. If you have a problem with something someone said why not resolve it privately in person or over the phone so the rest of us can talk about Parkers.

I know it is a dead horse, but I simply don't agree with that, long term annual members should be given some sort, as you say "level of dedication" they have paid most of the life membership and to be told they don't have a say is wrong, maybe a discount on a life membership to those that have been annual members for ten years or more but to write them off and say that, is just wrong.:banghead: Now I'm out of this and going deer hunting....
