I don't have to back up anything. Changing Pattern rules in direct
opposition of the active pattern majority is enough. Having several
proposals which were co-signed by Ron Van Putte, John Fuqua and Tony
Stillman contrary to the desires of those who responded to the NSRCA SIG
survey is enough.
What you are really seeing is good evidence for term limits, NSRCA and AMA,
as well.
