And you wonder why forming the new mailing list that will have
contact/updates/new happenings plus a discussion list to move away from the
people who are quick to criticize and flame people for say Nationals and the
operations but never have been...to get away from people who crticize the
SEB, committees for trying to help make improvements to this sport but yet
they do not want to get involved, nor do they go to any events outside their
regions...I hope to entice many of the most influential people in this sport,
the reasons why this sport has come to where it has today, and the most
repected people in this sport for their intelligence and wisdom to be
involved in the discussion list.
I am working on this today and hope to post the new mailing list for those
looking for improving and wanting to know what is happening.
Again-thank you for all the letters that have come in and some of the
humerous remarks and enthusiasm shown for this unfortunate situation...I
really think what started as something most people ignore has now turned into
something of great use and info.
