The only *fair* way of doing it would be to split the money equally

What's wrong with bias? If one of the properties is more desirable to
Texas cavers as a whole, then that's
Splitting is one fair way to deal with the funds. But it is not the only way
to deal with this issue fairly. Discussing this as a group and deciding on a
course action, and determining a suitable action in an open, civil, transperant
and democratic process is fair

Mark,
I just responded personally to your earlier post on this matter in which I was
in favor of the gift to pay down the Punkin and Deep loan. Gifting the funds to
TCMA for this purpose has nothing to do with bias or being fair but makes good
fiscal sense to pay down the loan on which you are

This democratic process is getting way too complicated. Any vote for
dispersal should be limited to the two or three Texas associations and then
only after the proposed usage of the monies by these associations is reviewed

Here is a kevlar helmet suitable for caving:
The Pacific WR5.
Only $ 110.00 plus tax and shipping.

It is my opinion that caving helmets still have a ways to go in the

As Quitna stated, her new computer came with Vista, and most computer
manufacturers aren't developing XP drivers anymore. So with some
computers (especially laptops), you can't even downgrade to XP.
