How should they be properly punished?

Darn, I just wanted to see how many "original" owners were on this site. lol Didn't really want it to get into a semantics question at all. It's in my home in Cali but I have an original registry with hundreds of my notations and remarks in it. If you have one and used it frequently than it's like mine with pages out and binding shot. I probably haven't picked it up since 1990. I guess there is updated info in the newer registry that has newer info like the continuation series in it.

I think you have me beat. I didn't keep up membership because of other interests and as life rolls by things change. However, I wouldn't have time to devote to other marquees if only spent time on Shelby. I grew up in Greenwich and my grandfather was a good friend/customer with Luigi Chinetti(Shelby too).
I think it was around 1985 I went to the SAAC Convention in LA/ Anaheim area. Lot's of great cars there.
I have a good and true story for you. It must have been 2 or 3 years before this california SAAC convention that I attended when I first read about a Cobra convention in NJ. It was about a week before and had no info on anything other than a small ad. I told my buddy about it and he suggested we drive up to Ridgefield, CT (the address in the ad) and get all the info. No problem since we lived in Greenwich we drove to Ridgefield, found the house and walked up to the door. Well the person answered didn't have the info and was led to believe I had the wrong place. This certainly was not a car guy. It was all private homes and I really don't remember what the house looked like but I thnk it had a semi-detached garage and walking past I noticed a 1965 R-type GT 350 in the garage. I was so pissed I missed that convention!
