It sure is great to see some people other than Andy and Chris speak up and have the common decency to identify themselves, thus making their post worth reading.

John, i agree with you completly. Terry and probably any of the BOD will talk to you and answer any or all your questions face to face or over the phone. However, on this forum, i think what people are looking for is public explainations to their concerns within the club. It has become quite apparent that this will never become reality.

Any good political figure will always tell the followers what they want to hear. In almost 50 years, i have never seen one put those thoughts or ideas in writing. Im sure its not going to start now.

Ian, you might be partly right in what you said about what people want to hear. Myself, i would be more than happy to hear any kind of communications, and knowing we have leadership would satisfy me completly. I said it before and i will say it again, come on board, say something, anything, tell the people to live with it or move on and its over. Than you add in all these people who defend their silence and fail to identify themselves as anything more than a tractor model, just makes the situation worse. Breeds more distrust within. 

However you look at it, i applaud the both of you for taking a concerned stand on the issue and siging your name to it.

The one thing that befuddles me on all this is the parties involved. The so called renegades who some think are just out to cause trouble ALL identify themselves, almost to the street corner. Arent they the ones who usually hid under false names, the trouble makers???  Than you have the group who defend the accusations, the group who usually defend with merit, who in this situation for the most part stay anominious. Very strange turn around that is?????

Closing this forum to members only was a good start in keeping this within the club. Now we should call on Chris to finish the job and make everyone signed up to this  forum signed on with their given names. Memebership # should be required to register. 

If we all got together with a name and discussed things in the open for a couple weeks, all this could be rectified in no time. As it stands, these people feel ignored by the arrogance of a BOD, which feels they arent even worth responding to. That, from my perspective, might be the leaderships only mistake,for sure its their biggest.

Anyways gentleman, thanks for getting involved.  Have a nice day  Bob Cook
