[NSRCA-discussion] Rules change proposal

[Ron Van Putte]

Hmmmmm.  How do I say this?  I originally had you sitting at a table  
out in the parking lot by the Dumpster Dumpster at the 2007 Nats, but  
several of your friends told me you were afraid of the dark, so I put  
you in the lobby, where at least there was some light.  However, one  
more rules change proposal like that last one and you're back at a  
table by the Dumpster Dumpster at the 2008 Nats.
