It's not for me to say what's appropriate ...

... to be discussed -- its up to you, the club officers and the club members. I am only a member. That may seem like "taking the easy way out" but it really isn't. I know what my personal feelings are, but I am only ONE club member... to restate perhaps my best "one-liner" ever, that I made in relation to a heated political discussion at work: "I may not agree with a thing you say, but as a military officer I'm willing to give my life to defend your right to say it." It is up to you (as a group) to choose what you think is appropriate to discuss here. As long as you treat each other with dignity and respect, I have no right to interfere. Long ago, I stated some very simple rules, on the clubhouse's Privacy and Policy page: Honor Principle and Individual Behavior In addition to concerns about personal privacy, we also have standards of behavior for club membership. Simply stated, we expect people who use this site to treat others the same way that they would like to be treated. The club is based upon honesty, openness, sharing and trust. We expect every club member to be able to trust another club member (within reason, of course). 1. We expect that any items advertised for sale will be represented truthfully, and that all "deals" will be consummated as agreed to by both parties involved. 2. Dishonest dealings will not be tolerated. 3. Flaming or abusive language will not be tolerated. 4. Members must disclose their true identity. 5. Please bring any incidents to the attention of the Webmaster for resolution. 6. Violators can and will be deleted from club membership rolls! Should the club (as an entity) want to extend or expand those rules, you have every right to do so, and I will do my best to enforce whatever rules you decide upon. This is YOUR clubhouse -- I just provide the "parking space" and try to clean up the mess, if needed.... You decide... you have officers, you have a forum to discuss the issue(s), and I will support your decision -- I have only one vote, as a club member.... Hopefully this is the last I personally will need to say on this issue -- the rest is up to you, as a group. I don't want to have undue influence simply because I was the Dr. Frankenstein that created this monster. Have fun... I'll watch, if you don't mind. ;-) Kent

Kent, if this issue can or will be brought to a membership vote could you tabulate them for us? Dick

[Kent]

Yes, in fact I may be able to put a "poll" kind of thing together. I did that for the last election of officers, but the site that I used (and linked in) is no longer available... I'll start doing some checking.

You asked for it, you got it -- and it's NOT a Toyota... now a Honda OHV twin for my tractor -- Whoops, got distracted there... There's a poll now on the Club News page where you can make your opinions known...
