[NSRCA-dist8] Classic Pattern

Wed Feb 19 14:41:29 AKST 2014

Bob,

Under the laid out guide line, I would say Yes it would be OK, but the
intent is to keep it to Old School. To me a 3D ARF of modern design does
not fit the "Old School" criteria. This stuff isn't in stone so we can
still adjust as we go. Any thoughts from everyone on how to write this is
most appreciated. Like Jim, said we don't want to alienate anyone, but we
do need some sort of guideline.
