I could not agree with Bill more. I am tired of seeing people take pot shots at things they do not understand, in this forum, and numerous others. One of the things I want to build at the Museum is a portal system to highlight all existing good projects to preserve histories, and more important, act as a central coordinating space to help launch all such projects.

All government folks are NOT pinheads and posting such a comment on a public reflector does little to foster the cause of preservation and certainly lessens any chance there ever was of this equipment getting saved. Why not take the opposite approach and find out who owns it and make some constructive proposal that is crafted to be a win -win for both parties. Then try some good old communication - trying to understand where they are coming from, and maybe save some of that gear.

We need to get Dick Dillman and his posse to mount a night time raid, and free these rigs from their government-mandated fate. Loose the Greenkeys warriors!
