Bill,
If I want pontificating I'll go to the pontiff. Once again you
throw out a Molotov Cocktail, and threaten Moderation Purgatory for
anyone who responds. That's not moderation. It's censorship! Is
yours the only opinion allowed? Please stop using you position make
incendiary statements only to limit discussion of the subject. As
for your dues, I haven't checked lately, but when I was on the BOT
your dues didn't pay for your "Dispatch". What allows the NASG to
remain solvent? All those "evil" AF guys buying the yearly car
project cars! Contrary to my buddy, Mr. Rigsby's opinion, I have
always seen the NASG as an organization run by scale guys.
