[NSRCA-discussion] Rules survey

[verne at twmi.rr.com]

Derek,
I think the explanations are a great idea as long as the document doesn't start looking like the IRS TAX Code. In that vein, we've tried to change an awful lot of stuff in past surveys. It might be more productive to focus in on a smaller number of issues so everyone can understand and digest it all. In the past, it seems as though we kept hammering the same old issues over and over. As an example, Masters using the discarded FAI schedule. I can't think of a single survey over the last 10 years where that wasn't brought up and everytime, it was defeated by a huge margin. But we just keep throwing it back in. Every year, the issue is brought up on the List and gets kicked around for a few days and then ends up in survey with the same results.
