LIVING UP TO ACADEMIC STANDARDS

Hi all,

Ibrahim, six years ago I had asked about the possibility of publishing forum content in some form or other, recognizing the value of the informal expertise (experience) in this forum. The issues and difficulties with the idea identified then were the same identified above. Some support was voiced, however, for sending out proceedings from forum meetings/talks in electronic format. Something in the vein of the Timonium seminar.

Such a thing requires organization, investment in time and money and considerable dedication. And it requires consistent participation. Perhaps more than most of the members here are looking for. While immensely grateful to Lee and Oriental-Arms for their sponsorship of the forum and of the Timonium event, I gather that most members here come to the forum for its pleasant informality and ease of use.

Publishing or formal accreditation is simply beyond what most people want from this forum

Best regards,
Emanuel
