Scott, This is a great collector's club. The vast majority of members are polite, knowledgable, generous, honest, supportive, fun and don't take themselves too serious. Yes, there have been squabbles and there will be more, unfortunately addressed on line rather than in the privacy of email to email, subjecting all of us to have to read that junk, fights between members, insults slung back and forth in public, really boring. I joined a few years back and am really glad I did. I can post a question and receive an answer, always. I can buy and sell to fellow club members with confidence. I just ignore the negative crap and stick to the positive. Nancy Olson Portland, Oregon R-5436
