O.k. fair enough. Let's say you are 100% right and I 100% agree that you
are 100% right.

What are *you* going to do about it?

I have never seen you at a show.
I have never seen you offer any expertise.
I have never seen you offer to help in any way.

I have seen, you complain, whine, moan, berate, and make insane comments
to the contrary of the community good.

So, please... Honestly, enlighten us, surprise us. Actually do something
productive.

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake
