To all,

Life is too short to listen to all the whinning and complaining that's been exhibited on the BB's lately. If you've got a problem with something involving the club, follow the prescribed rules. Sometimes working within the rules really does work better than trying to skirt them. If you don't agree with someone else's theory on grading or books or how the convention should be run, think about how you'd discuss it if facing them. I'm willing to bet that most of us are a lot braver behind our keyboards (myself included) and would behave in a more civilized manner if in public. The only thing accomplished by all the complaining here is that either "prospective" members witness the fighting and decide they don't need to be a part of the club or enemies are made without any real justification. OR, it does what it's done to me....I just don't want to "listen" to it anymore. Enough is enough.

I'm going to take a vacation from the BB's for a while and concentrate on the things that are important to me. I'll keep my eyes open for the new edition of the Club magazine and do like the members who don't have computers do....read about it there. And of course, I'll be at the Thursday night chats on AOL.

If anyone needs me, feel free to send an e-mail.
