[Mark IV]

Sure SAAC is a "for profit" operation and the cost/benefit ratio was one of the things that made me give up my membership some time ago. And regardless of Kopec's prior life as a teacher (and it wasn't high school shop) the problems with CS are pure profit issues, nothing more, nothing less. Shelby needs control of the records to allow his version of "history" to be accepted as the official one. Kopec, Eber, Pardee, et all stand in the way of his revisionist plans.

I have no particular love for SAAC and the operators and I disagree with the fundraising/mudslinging methods they are currently employing, BUT, I disagree with the Shelby camps actions even moreso.

Think about this authors posistion......he stands to write several future stories about Shelby products and have some nice, fun "test drives" in them. What can SAAC offer him?
