Oh lordy, Jay, how right you are. And you will remember when, a few years ago,
I had
the temerity to wonder publicly in this forum why there was a need for two
separate
national organizations. Foolishly, I theorized that if they consolidated, the
combined resources of the membership would result in a better magazine and
could do
more for the overall membership at a lower cost.
Foolish? Naw, it was dumb! All it did was get a ton of vicious e-mail in my
mailbox
and late-night calls from angry officials of one of the groups. To his
credit, the
president of the other group sought to have me take a more active role in his
organization. Not one to play favorites, I just quit both. It still seems to
me
that the Austin-Healey community, big and small, is ill-served by the
existence of
two competing organizations.
