FYI if you may be interested!  Posted with permission!

morning Bob,

You can imagine my surprise when I got an email from a local RC'er and RMRCA
lurker that I was a subject of a thread started by you, thanks for asking.

I would have replied via the news group, but my new hard drive (MyDoom did a
nasty on my previous HD and  OS) does not have Agent loaded, so I had to
google up your post.

I have stepped aside from RC for an indeterminate time as it appears my work
has become my hobby. My national trade organization has "volunteered" me to
Chair the Communications Committee, which means I have to throw together a
twelve page newsletter every other month. You can imagine the talent they
had to draw from if I was picked - well actually that's unfair, those better
than I are also smarter and knew how to avoid the short list. So I spend
many  free hours on the phone coercing folks to write, putting those
articles into the King's English, laying the damn thing out, and finally
proofing it (our management company takes the path of least work) . . So, I
did not rejoin AMA or the Lazy Loopers this year and felt my hollow
existence would be not be needed on any RC forum.

But not to worry, this trade organization has just as nasty politics as AMA,
even with only 800 members across the country. And our management company is
just as frustrating as Muncie, so I really haven't lost any of the extra
curriculum fun. <g> I am beginning to think all organizations in which the
paying members volunteer to do the dirty work are all the same.

You may repost any of this you wish on RMRCA, I know you would not take
anything out of context.
I would appreciate my e-address not being posted.

be well,

-Bill
