NSRCA Formal Announcement

[patterndude at comcast.net]

I totally agree that the rules must be followed.  If the rules change, then we 
follow them.  Any comment I make are forward looking.  I have no concern with a 
CD or VP following published rules.  

On the poker thing, all I can say is that there's a lot more to poker than the 
turn of the cards.
