I replied to Al Houde by PM and maybe he will share my reply, with my permission, to add to this conversation.

Hello Bill:

I wrote you back via a PM. I know that you gave permission to share it, but I believe private messages should stay just that.

With that said, maybe we as members should put our heads together or maybe ask leadership about this subject of sharing information.

I understand and fully support the research letters and the fee behind them. That is a whole different thing. But perhaps we need to go further and catalog some of the historical information like in this subject thread for example.

I have a high interest in both Remington and Parker, and their brief effort together. I enjoyed the comments.

We hear and grumble a lot that we are dying out, and young people have little interest. I feel that they do, but they need that mentorship and knowledge that many, many, members here have.

I also read all the old threads and comments about the past. It is just that, the past. And sadly, many of those "old guard" guys are no longer with us.

As an organization, we should look towards the future. Remington used to have printed on their letterhead - Don't say it, write it.

Any thoughts or ideas? One team, one fight as we used to say.
