You hit the nail on the head Roger, except that the primary reason the Board wishes for me to discuss with them my responses to public inquiry isn't due so much to micromanagement but rather because I just simply haven't been on the Board as long as they have, and don't know all the reasons why things were done the way they were. I can appreciate that concern. It's why I deferred to Joan when Claude asked why the chapters were dissolved. I have since talked to her, and her response was that it was due to an IRS audit that mandated each chapter file their own tax documents. Joan tells me that each chapter director was sent a letter explaining the need for this, and only three directors chose to do anything about it. Hence the reason the Board at the time was forced to shut the rest of the chapters down. As an organization, we would benefit tremendously from having an organizational plan. I've been working with our President, Ron Ferguson, to get one together. It is on the discussion list for our next Board meeting but it is, admittedly, LONG overdue. Thanks very much for your feedback! It is greatly appreciated!

Josh, I think that the people here in general are sympathetic with your position and situation. Having been a DOA member off and on I can also understand the opposing sentiments from others, old-timers as well as newbies. And we all can live without DOA, although it would be nice to have a truly worldwide club. ------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnewsYahoo!
