This is what I had just posted on the other (third) Gunboards:
Dear and Esteemable Moderators (*bows politely*),
in view of the forthcoming fourth transformation of Gunboards (right now this is the third incarnation, and we are informed about a fourth, and every time much invaluable old material has been lost!), please allow me to submit a proposal first to you and second to the readership at large (Tuco and Vic have already declared their willingness to incorporate any sensible suggestion from the moderators and the readership):

Dear and Esteemable Moderators (*bows politely*),

And Pettson as one moderator here just wrote:LeeSpeed said:I believe an executive decision by the moderators was made some time ago allowing discussion of commercial firearms and ammo of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Maybe a revisit of this issue is a good idea. Personally I like the inclusion of the other Nordic countries as I know of no other English-language forum where these countries' CIVILIAN AND SPORTING arms are discussed. (...)
My vote is for pan-Nordic firearms discussion!!
I would therefore submit and suggest - because I feel it only reflects a factual development that has been uniformly accepted and actually embraced by the board's members - that in the New Gunboards, our two groups might be renamed "Scandinavian Firearms" or "Fenno-Scandinavian Firearms" (I am against that, because the Finnish Mosin-Nagants have their inherited and traditional first place in Tuco's main Collectors' Board, and nowhere else!) or simply "Nordic Firearms"."I believe that we've established earlier that Fenno-Scandinavian commercial firearms (meaning factory guns, custom guns and military bubba guns, as well as projects) is what goes here. And related stuff..."
