...It would have
been nice if they had shared more information on what was going on.


"It would have been NICE," you say?

The SSA leadership is not trying to be nice. They are trying to do
the right thing. They are working very hard trying to solve this
problem. They are taking financial and legal advice from experts.
They have your interests at heart.

If they had "shared more information on what was going on" earlier, it
probably would have made the problem worse. And knowing this, they
decided not to entertain you with sensitive news. They are smart
people. They are working for you.

They are motivated by their love of the sport and their sense of
responsibility. Their tangible reward for this work is zero.

Each week, after working on the real problem, and at a time when I'm
sure they'd like to take a small break, the Executive Committee
composes and publishes a remarkably complete and carefully worded
update for the membership. They aren't doing it to be nice; they are
doing it to keep you informed. They think you deserve it. I'm not so
sure.

Quit your sniping.
