Re: [AGA-mcm] Dates and Pits - Confidential

I agree, heck they still have not answered my basic
questions I asked them. I am starting to get concerned
that we may be looking at GWAPA II. 

These guys don't seem to have any experience in
running a fish convention. Scott, Phil , Erik and
Cheryl have all given copious amounts of great adviice
but the level of their questions really concerns me.
Maybe I have been hanging out with Scott "The Old
Worry Wort" Hieber to long :-), or maybe I just have a
bad taste from the GWAPA experience.

I personally, want to see some semblance of
organization, direction and most importantly
leadership before I am willing to go much further.
I was trying to say that in a very indirect way wityh
my questions, apparently to indirect.

SFBAAPS is a great prospective host club, but Jeff and
Kirtsen's lack of experience and Gomberg mailing in a
resignation letter every time someone presents a view
that does not align completely with his I am not sure
that they have what they need in terms of leadership
to pull it off. 

We will see where this goes, but I think we need to
careful.

Regards,
Larry
