George

You are not off base, and you and I have had several discussions about this.  I DO believe there is not enough contribution from others, AND I have gotten very hesitant about posting new information.  Also as you know, I have had my own policy of no longer posting pictures of items off my own collection.  I am and was just no longer comfortable about the web crawlers and lurkers but within and outside this forum.

I am sorry, I do not mean to offend anyone, but indeed the information being shared in the categories that you referred to is indeed valuable and important, and is built up from our collections, and discussions with many others, dealers, artists, etc.  This information is often not even available anywhere else, not in books and not on the web.  IF it were available the books and databases would be/could very expensive and difficult to obtain.  As such I fully agree and am a staunch and fervent supporters of this change!

Finally, I wholeheartedly agree that IF forum members seek access to the private sections, they should be monitored for their contributions and participation.  In other words, be a real part of the group or leave...Sorry.

Thanks!
