Thanks to folks like you, Archie this hobby has grown and developed into something that all of us can have fun and learn more about. All of us will be forever grateful for your taking the first step toward organizing the hobby. It's a shame when something as basic as a Member number can cause so much consternation on the part of so many people. Take it from me, my friend. I don't think he's trying to use the number as a means of misleading anyone. I don't approve of its use here but there is little I can do to prevent his using it. It is his, after all. The fact that it is there, however, gives folks the means of determining who he is. We also subscribe to the Club Code of Ethics. Thanks for your input. I'll be gone for a week to see the "Mouse" in Orlando. I may even say hello to my sons while I'm there.
