    Honestly, I need to
        terminate my participation in the discussion at this point. My
        perception is that a few hard-liners on the BoD on one or both
        clubs are the ones standing in the way of what is common sense
        to many members. We're up to about twenty e-mails on the topic
        so far, and still no one can or will state what the original
        issues were, or how they relate today. 

        

        Frankly, Mike, I'm not interested in the feelings of the Board
        of Directors on this issue. I'm interested in someone presenting
        some facts that will help me understand what the problem was,
        and possibly still is. If those can be articulated, I might
        change my point of view. Otherwise, it just looks like an
        entrenched position situation. 

        

        As for people who "stand up for their heritage". I'm a
        Southerner, and proud of it. But I share no heritage with men
        who fought to protect an economic system that enslaved other
        human beings. History judged them wrong, and justly so. That the
        symbol of that rebellion causes people of color pain and outrage
        is no surprise to me. Anyone who displays it is ignorant at
        best, and racist at worst. 

        

        And with that, I'll terminate my participation in this
        discussion. 

        

        73,

        

        Les Rayburn, N1LF

        Proud Member of both the IRCA and NRC.
