color=#008080> Sorry to annoy you. This was the first I
had read or heard about a survey being done at the Nats. That is all that was
stated and I had no further info to go on and posted my question. Based on some
actions in the past 25 years of belonging is where my cynicism is based. Also I
have been given a very nasty ride by the good ole U.S. government. Thus
naturally I ask questions when I don't see or understand what is being
discussed. I think you have made some great statements that I agree with many of
your perceptions. I don't see all changes that the organization does as
encouraging or a benefit to drawing new blood to the sport. I do suspect it has
driven quite a few away. (my suspicion only). I didn't get to attend the Nats
again (work can get in the way) so reason for my asking. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#008080>I haven't been
enjoying the hobby lately and some of that is being addressed soon. Had to make
some personal choices I didn't feel I would want to do. Will be glad to clarify
in a direct post if you would like. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode"
color=#008080> </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#008080>I did voice my vote
for the schedule that was put up on the list after the survey had came out. I
mentioned that schedule would have been my preferred choice but it wasn't on the
survey. I know that a lot of very hard work goes into creating the ideas that
are presented to be included in the survey. If I see something that I like
better after the fact doesn't mean I don't appreciate the hard work that others
did. I do speak up and out when I see things that I feel are good or bad. Maybe
part of the reason I take so much heat is I do heat on some sensitive nerves and
issues with some and that is what sets them off.. We all have a choice on
how we react to our stimulus. I make my choices and have no trouble sleeping
with my clear conscience. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>

still have the utmost respect for you and all the rest of the people that post
and serve the NSRCA. Thanks for answering and clarifying my
question.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV>Del did you fill out the NSRCA rules survey that was in your KF?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you did then the survey that was taken at the NATS is the exact same
document you had input on! We just saved some postage that's all!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In fact the first time many of us had seen it was at the NATS. Many of us
got our KF's there while the postman was delivering to the rest of you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Nothing back room about it.....Just like this sequence was not
backroom....Conspiracy theories can pull us all down. Look at what is in
front of you. Don't read things into how it got there...rather decide which
one you want! If your choice is none of the above then tell your Board member
to fail both proposals!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The leadership of the NSRCA is not trying to backdoor you. Rather
sometimes it can't get your personal opinion....</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many people were going over the latest KF at the NATS just as many do at
local contests....We were all looking for something new...and trying to bounce
ideas off each other regarding the rules survey that was enclosed. The NATS
just like local contests is a good place for brainstorming the reason you have
130 pattern flyers all there at the same time...face to face. How many
survey's got sent in...200 right...well I bet 130 came from the NATS
competitors. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The conception of our option sequence was done with a beer in one
hand and the Windex bottle cleaning a plane in the other. Standing in the
parking lot of Site #2 and trying to decide where we were all going for
dinner. Nothing more nothing less. Del if I would have known you wanted to go
to dinner with us I would have asked. Sorry man. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Eric's right when your down everybody takes a shot! That's not
right!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We need to get off this Eric bashing. Its not constructive. This Masters
2005 option is merely that....a take it or leave it option. You have 3 choices
Survey Results of Seq #1. The D6 Option Seq or no change. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Given these options what do you choose?...because that is the choice...I
wish somebody had submitted another Masters sequence then we would have 4
choices....but alas there are only 3. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hate to sound cold shoulder to you Del but relax man....We are not out
to get you. I'm just a pattern flyer just like you. Next we meet I'll be happy
to buy you a beer....but you gotta relax man this is for fun!</DIV>

<DIV>Its a tough job. The idea was see if we could do a better job....not
tear down what had been done. As for input asked for to create the
survey yes there was time.....The idea came while filling out the survey at
the NATS...and many like the choice of none of the above!</DIV>
