Bruce, I think your thread was great and I think most of us feel that way. Please allow me to point out something that I have personally been guilty of and I am not referring to anyone but myself in this point. A problem with emails and threads such as this one is we do not have the opportunity to speak in person to whom we are sending or receiving the thread. Therefore we tend to let our personal issues sometimes cloud what we think the other person is saying. As a new member to the PGCA I have noticed that many members seem not to like a couple of other members. From reading some threads it is obvious why. Having said that I have to also say I have never met anyone on this site in person so I can't honestly say what type of people they would be. Most are probably wonderful people who may have a difference of opinion from mine. Some are apparently obnoxious to the point of irritating a number of people who read their posts. Some are self serving. Most of us though are in this because they genuinely love Parker Brothers shotguns and have the same goals as you do. Even before I bought my one (so far) Parker GH I read the posts and loved them. I loved the photos of really high quality guns and I loved the (for lack of a better word) professionalism of the members. This is a great organization that is kept running smoothly by men and women such as yourself. I guess what I am saying is there are members in every organization who just don't fit in or are self serving. Believe me when I say that almost always the other members know exactly who they are and deal with them accordingly. This is a great organization with wonderful members. It is only getting better.
