[REAL 1]

Owning an an original or selling one doesn't anoint you with either credentials or specialness (other than being lucky enough to own one or today having a fat wallet ). The cars are special not necessarily the owners.

Credentials come from your knowledge and enthusiasm for these cars. It is enhanced by what you contribute to them and the community of the hobby. Ned certainly fits this bill.

I think what Dred is saying bottom line is that there should be more respect towards each other and there should be acknowledgement of the Registry's information and position and the hard work that went into it by those more knowledgeable than you.
