Reverse Avalanche

[Bob Pastorello]

Well.... an option to TAKE CONTROL of this mess of continued escalation is before us, gents!!!  This is a rules process year, and we have a committee or two who can submit some things to SOLVE this.

It will take committment to do so.
The "madness" CAN be stopped.
        We just have to want to stop it badly enough.

  Dean:
  Absolutely correct.  You just hit the nail on the thumb.  We added 
  another class in IMAC as a Band-Aid  to fix it.  The new class went 
  between what is our (NSRCA) Intermediate and Advanced.  Were getting 
  close to that position now, IMHO.
