It's a philosophy of putting information out there. knowledge is power, versus the "everything is proprietary" and what's mine is mine and my exemplars and expertise in an autograph is secret.

There should be no secrets. The forgers don't care one way or the other, so why not give the collectors a fighting chance to educate themselves by sharing information?
Well said...in total agreement!
