Gene, That was the feeling of some of those involved in the discussion regarding a slabbing educational seminar at the convention. The discussion was prior to the Palace Station show. Given the level of emotion and some of the general language used on this BB at that time, I was not surprised that some could have a fear of problems.
All parties on both sides of the issue handled themselves very professionally at the Palace Station show. I know that an educational seminar will be a great opportunity for those of us who oppose slabbing to put the reasons before the entire membership, to challenge ICG and to get answers to our many questions.

Andy, Contrary to your post, I am working very hard to make sure that the membership is educated on this issue and that all sides can be heard. I think that I am opening up the information highway, not acting as a "roadblock."
