<DIV><FONT size=2>I to usually don't respond to items such as this but I feel
that I need to put my two cents worth in now. Not that it makes any difference
to me who will be the judge for the 2005 WC but it seems that if AMA was
aware of an agreement that they have with NSRCA They would have notified
NSRCA of their decision to not abide with that agreement, especially if their
decision was made as far back as the 2003 WC selection contest. Was this some
sort of secret that they didn't want to be made public and why? What are their
motives? Items such as this only seem to undermine the working relationship
that we supposedly have between AMA and NSRCA. Maybe that is their motive? I
surely hope not. If it is, from my view point It's time to rally around
the cause and try something and or someone new who understands exactly
the definition of the word agreement and also by eliminating the word
Dictator from their vocabulary.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I might have a different opinion had this item had any
significant impact on the AMA by affecting any other SIG, individual or the
overall AMA membership but I cant see how it does. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks to all who still believe that open discussion within
the group will foster a better and stronger democratic organization your cause
will always win out over other self centered politically motivated people
and groups who think the silent majority will not step forward and put an
end to their attempt to blatantly disregard the decisions of the majority.
If these comments are out of line or are any way inaccurate please set me
straight I will appreciate it and retract them at that time.</FONT></DIV>
