A lot may be like me. I Joined early on; at least 18 years ago and I believe longer. However, for one reason or another, my credentials disappeared during a period when I moved and I only got them renewed in '21 under a new account.
Same thing happeded with the 16 Ga society. I joined almost at the first and contributed for years. Then due to their internal problems and no real structure I was lost with no one to contact and no way to rejoin automatically online. I was off for years and had to rejoin using my wifes information. With the internet, nothing is permanent.
