Well said Bob,

    I for one would be more than happy to see EVERYONE that claims to
hate the QCWA, the Board of Directors, and everything else associated
with the QCWA to either put up or shut up.

    If you don't like the way things are, quit yer bitching and get 
involved.
And by getting involved, I mean GET ON THE BOARD, not just your
keyboard to send off the cuff rants to the reflector trying to garner a few
other malcontents.

    I've belonged to several organizations over the years, and it's always
the same thing. There's always a group of people that bitch and moan. And
that's all they apparently do. When it's time for volunteers, they're 
usually no
where to be seen.

    By and large, the QCWA board of directors has done an excellent job
representing the members *that get involved*.

    I've been on a board of directors, I've been a chairman and I've been
involved in frequency coordination. All I can say about that job is that if
you don't get any death threats, you're not doing your job.

    To Jim Walsh, and Croft Taylor, keep up the good work. All I would
add, is that in the future, something as controversial as this should be put
into the QCWA Journal for review as soon as possible.

    Not that malcontents will read it, they usually make the most noise 
after
the period for comments is over. And typically, rather than engaging in a
reasonable discussion about the issue, will resort to inflammatory comments
like, "They sold us out" and so forth.
