[NSRCA-discussion] Let us bicker about who can use the list

[Daniel McLalin]

You must all realize that there are a lot of people following these
emails who have not ever asked a question or comment AND who are not
NSRCA members.  I am an example of this.  I have been on the e-mail
mailing list for over 2 years and have used all of your valuable
information to educate myself. I am not a member of NSRCA because I am
still learning to fly and am not ready to participate in any pattern
competitions.  I am an AMA member.

I have met several of you at pattern competitions and have always been
impressed on how friendly and anxious you are at helping us newbees
and welcoming our interest in not just pattern but RC itself.

This is the first time I have ever come across a negative comment from
a member to a non-member (that wasn't in jest - of course). I was
surprised for sure but not put off by Jim Quinn's response to Colin.

So I repeat, many people read your comments.  Saying something in text
stays out there for a very long time.

My 2 cents.
