I don’t normally respond to this kind of childish behavior. Maybe we should have a site called “peevish little old ladies that live to argue and whine about whatever”. Then they can argue about snaps, flying downwind, I could have done the contest better but
I had a hangnail or whatever they want to argue about at the time. <br>
<br>
One of the most alarming things I thought I saw is that there are only a little over 400 members of the NSRCA😳. I hope I saw that wrong. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">This list should be delegated to promoting pattern, provide positive reinforcement for improvement , help and assist our volunteer’s and show some integrity. Broadcasting grievances against the NSRCA or inserting personal attacks in your
missive’s should not be tolerated no matter how right you think you are. We would be better off just shutting this list down than let it continue. I find it disheartening, imagine how a new member who joins the list to gain knowledge and discuss Aerobatics
interprets it. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you have a grievance, and it means that much to you, privately cultivate a constituency to plead your case and take it up with your DVP. If your getting no response move it up the chain of command until you do. If your case holds water,
the BOD can determine a course of action and correction. </p>

do this at their expense of time, money , effort, etc. they don’t have to help, they normally are just giving back so that whatever activity can even exist. Do they make mistakes, of course, lots of them, but they deserve consideration, real respect, and
kind responses. Otherwise they go away and the end result is an even worse outcome. I have done my share of volunteering and helping. I have received more than my share of unwarranted abuse from those of differing opinions. It is offensive and oft times
without substantial cause. </span></p>
