If you please, I would be very much indebted to you for your kind assistance and knowledge if you care to share your information, or the source of said information.

Many Thanks

Hoss!

i don't believe the AMA has been knighted, but certainly they are the experts on the matter no? Do you know of any other group or organization that is working with any government agency on these issues? Any other group that has the ability to help shape and form policy (within reason and ability)? Any other entity that has the funding, knowledge, or vested interest in protecting/advancing the hobby?
