Bigger issues--Long as usual from me

Ron:
I agree with what you're saying, and I surely believe it's to our 
benefit that  we have as many pattern folks on the CB as we do.  I'm 
just looking, (as I sense you are also) at the extra "layer" of 
administration between the rubber and the road.  And, I suppose it's 
better at the CB level than it would be at a "higher" level where we 
just might not have as many sympathetic ears.  I guess.  But it still 
reminds me about the old story of  breeding 
elephants............................
