He is the originator of the rule change proposal to have 0 or 10 for 
takeoffs/landings.  I also signed the proposal.

No.  There is too much traffic that is not appropriate to his interest.

He is like every other member of the contest board.  He responds to 
input from constituents who contact him.  He contacted me three times 
by email today because I contacted him three times.  His home e-mail 
address is johnfuqua at gdsys.net   BTW, I don't think that AMA District 5 
is a small geographic district.  It encompasses Alabama, Florida, 
Georgia, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Permit me an aside.  If all the effort which went into the hand 
wringing we've seen on this List about the takeoff and landing rule 
change proposal went into constructive activity, we could get some real 
work done in support of NSRCA.   Did anyone actually log on Tony's site 
and read the proposal?
