Bestow "In Memoriam" title to "32 Magnum"?
Recently a long-time PAFOA user, 32 Magnum, who was an authority and historian on H&R firearms, passed away. He was nominated by a PAFOA staff member for a "In Memoriam" title.
As per our process for such:
http://forum.pafoa.org/support-sugge...ml#post1227512
The staff as a whole approved the nomination, and now it moves to a public poll, which will be open for a week.
So what say you?
Below is the message sent to me nominating him, for those that might not have known him:
CR,
I have sad news again to report..
The world has lost another of the greatest minds in H&R Firearms history a couple weeks ago.
Jim Hauff, aka 32 Magnum, passed away. He, and Jim Ritchie who passed away this past spring, was probably the most knowledgeable person on the planet about H&R Firearms and their history back to 1871.
32 Magnum and I used to correspond with long email chains about his and my favorite line of guns. I knew he was having health problems, but didn't know the extent of things.
Anyways, I would like to nominate my friend for "In Memoriam".
Here is his obituary:

Re: Bestow "In Memoriam" title to "32 Magnum"?
Can we vote on the rule about voting on the title? Seriously I think it's both disrespectful and despicable. Anyone who is a member in good standing and has contributed to the site should be granted a memory. Otherwise it's nothing more than the politics of a popularity contest.
