Snoop,

I do not understand your comments at all. In my comments I said the
board did "run out of gas", and "did run into that mountain". I simply
pointed out that they did not deliberately do so by voting to "run out
of gas" and by voting to "ignore the by-laws. Additionally I made no
comment whatsoever about any board members being an excellent
pilots/board members.

Are you suggesting that those who rune out of gas do so deliberately?
That they conspire to run into the mountain?

Snoop, if I may join in? Frank, I think what Snoop meant by this is
that running out of gas suggests a lack of planning or situational
awareness.

You, the SSA members select the board members.

True, but the board picks the Executive Committee.

To suggest that the volunteer SSA Board members did anything other than
make an honest error (be it a stupid one) is to imply some type of
conspiracy theory.

There! behind the grassy knole!Just kidding.

I know the vast majority of the board members and
all of the current excom members.

Why is it that most of the people on RAS claim to know all these
people?Do you know Dennis Wright also?What was he thinking?

I also hope
that none of you here on the ras have to experinece that from making
veiled accusations as to the integrety, honesty and the intentions of
the members of the SSA Board.

Frank, To most of us on RAS or the SSA its not about accusing anyone.
Its about seeing that our dues $$$$ (And contest fees, bussiness dues,
etc.) are invested in such a maner as to further the sport.In the past
few years this has clearly not been the case.

You would indeed be wise to adhear to your dad's advise, "don't do (or
say) anything that you don't want to have to explain".

Regards,

Frank Reid
