Hi Bob; I think Dennis was arguing against alienating or separating from the AF/Hi-rail people.
In any case, this thread HAS gone on a while. I think the question SHOULD be, do you want NASG spending time on it's name, or on a project like the S GMR publication/web site? Which option gives more bang-for-the-buck (or new S scalers for the volunteer time and whatever expenses)? I know I'd vote for the publication over changing the name. Pieter E.
