[NSRCA-discussion] D3 VP - Thank You Guys

[shinden1 at cox.net]

Jim, let it go,,
you are doing yourself a dis-service 
we could use someone with your enthusiasm and drive in a leadership position but you need to refine you platform and make it more tasteful.
Every e-mail sounds like wining to those who are in the dark about your issues,and we get tired of the constant drum beat. 
you over think them to exaggerate extremes.
I consider you a friend but,,, please find another angle to attack this issue
your loosing traction 
Go to the Nat`s and beat Jason when he cares 
thaen everyone will probably listen to you.
Bryan
