ATM-
A worthwhile suggestion....I've already enlisted some resources to help look into the project.

Jeff-
Thanks. I had a discussion with a marketing guy at SHOT yesterday who is interested in taking over the Home Page project...he also did The *outstandng* BlackHawk site. Anyway, he got on me about turning TFL into a commercial enterprise....again.

I've concluded that this just isn't going to happen, unless it becomes a *real* financial strain. While I'm a needy capitalist like everyone else, and I embrace the profit motive, it would require commercializing the site. I'm dead set against that, even though others, including BladeForums.Com and GlockTalk have done it quite tastefully.

We'll see about the T's.
Rich
