George, my statements are not with regard toward you or the others involved in progress in any way intended to be negative. I am simply pointing out facts, facts which I am aware were stated when this all began and which I have accepted. My dislike for them is irrelevant, though my opinion. I do not feel anyone is doing a poor job or not fulfilling their promises either. If the group of us (with out without me) interested in a tuning forum chose to accept using the performance section for tuning discussion, I would not avoid participation there by any means, but we have stated as a group that we do not want it that way.
I do have a concern though which is a little off topic, though I will mention it anyway. I do not recall if part of the agreement of the merger with the TBSCEC requires adoption of its rules, but one of the rules would be rather prohibitive toward a goal of getting a new forum opened. I believe there was a percntage of the membership that had to vote in order to enact a change. Well, if this is the case and of all the members, the only people really interested are those that have posted here, that doesn't help us in getting a new forum established when voting time comes. By the same token, it clearly shows that the rest of the membership does not care enough one way or another so it is of no detriment to them if the new forum opens. See where I am going with this?
The only person in this thread who expressed oposition is Dave Dalke, so I ask Dave, would you contribute to tuning discussion and share your information if the performance section is used since you most likely have the most to offer being an SCT dealer? I suppose we could just take over that forum with tuning discussion and leave the title as performance for the sake of satisfying the existing policies.
Last off, George, was there a specific reason why the officers will not come into play until '05? I may have missed it during the announcements, but would like to be briefed on it.
Paul
