[Qcwa] Another Sell-out

[Bob Peters]

I will 2nd Larry  on this...a lot of times we are all to quick  to 
react...As  I have learned
read  what  you write  before  you  send it...Saves a lot of hot headed 
posts...We need  to  support
our  organization  and  if  we don't  like what we see  going on run  for 
the board  and then you to
can be screamed at....The QCWA  does more good  for our hobby then 
bad...Support it  guys and
gals and it will support  you...Off  my  high horse!!!!
