Thomas,

I would say the "anger" you have seen or read here should be taken with a grain of salt. I would also say a vast majority of our members are very passionate about our hobby and equally passionate about our club, hence the "anger" you've seen. I've had some rather "firm" email exchanges with a couple of people but in the end it always works out somehow.

I used to be a ranch hand some time ago and one thing you learn REAL quick is to NEVER kick a cow patty on a hot day. It may seem safe enough but there's always a nice, steamy surprise waiting for you. I know you were just voicing your opinion but I'm afraid you may have kicked a patty!

I for one would like to thank a fellow Texas boy for joining our club. It may be late but it’s genuine.
