What is wrong with the DSCC?

[Mike I]

Jeff,
No need to get defensive and no one is asking for excuses. You have to understand why Ed said what he did. The DSCC is supposed to be a club, not just a registry of owners and enthusiasts. His statements were not meant to ostracize you or anyone else specifically. With more than 300 members on the list, nearly half of which are resident in Florida, it should not be this difficult to get at least 50 members to commit to attending our only annual event. Certainly, there are valid reasons why individuals can't, or choose not to attend. That's a personal choice and no one has a right to question it. But there is also a certain obligation to support the club's existance. BTW, the annual meeting is intended to be a gathering for the sole purpose of electing new officers and discussing club business. Dan, Ruble, Ed and others have tried to make it as family friendly as possible in order to boost participation. For anyone to criticize their efforts is beyond contempt.

I don't have a matress full of cash either, so I can understand your dilemma, but I try to support the club organizers any way I can. I borrow or rent a trailer when I need one. I even drove my car to McDonough last year in the rain.

Also, I wouldn't be too quick to agree with Spiderman on anything. I've never met him, but from the posts I've read, I'd say he's probably unfit to be out in public without supervision....
