This website serves to (on a daily basis) fill that need. Many of us have made some great friendships through all this interaction.We have truly become a community where some of us share what's going on in our lives beside our collecting and shooting endeavors and that's what friend's do.I am not and will never consider myself an expert.I learn something new here quite often and that is because of the free exchange of information from some of our more learned member's and newcomer's alike.


Yes,I do agree that with our website we are exposed to various hackers and phishing site's but our administrators and moderators are constantly taking steps to ensure our safety and they have my complete confidence.Change is inevitable and sometimes a little scary we need to just roll with it and see how it plays out.If we are not growing ...we're going..

OK...I will get off my soapbox now...nuff said.

If you want to hear a very diplomatic rebuke of the Bruce Day "diss" of our website, read our new leader's comments about the website on a recent thread titled "nom de plumes". Bill Mullins says it very well. I'm glad Bruce has never learned anything from this website as he states. I have been studying and researching Parkers for about 45 years longer than Bruce has, and I learn something here on a regular basis. "Checkbook Bruce" knows a bunch about Parkers, all learned in the last five years. I'm sorry I'm not a bit more diplomatic, but only reach the bottom when someone tries to tear down this organization. Usually, I'm pretty upbeat and would rather talk about buying and researching Parkers.
