Just joined BCCI as an "E" member.
It seems that 300bucks, bertl, and a few others have cajoled and unduly influenced me into believing that I had indeed become an unrepentant collector of Buck knives, along the way revealing to me that I had obviously become "addicted" to the activity, and that of course I was doomed. As my budget sadly attests they were absolutely right, I AM addicted, (and doomed)!! I decided to embrace my addiction, feeling absolutely no need to find a recovery group, so, I decided instead to join BCCI. I opted for the E membership for now, that way I can spend the extra $15 a full membership costs on more Buck knives, (there's that addictive thing again).
Well, I guess if you have to be addicted it's best to be addicted to something that isn't illegal!
Thanks 300bucks and bertl for your help and information.
