I sent out a variant of Cheryl's; I can't spend any more energy on this
worrying that someone's pissed at the AGA. People ALWAYS are pissed off
at the AGA. You can't stop that. People were pissed off at the AGA
because we didn't support the defense fund. People are pissed off at the
AGA because our judges like too much red, too little red, value long-term
tank stability, or think a particular 45-gallon tank qualifies as "large"
instead of "medium". People are pissed at the AGA because we had a
convention in Texas twice, because the focus groups were only 45 minutes
long and weren't allowed to run over. People were pissed because "we"
didn't honor Vicki at the convention with a moment of silence. People
have been pissed because we didn't do DVD's of the convention (even in
2001), and based on the marketing research feedback I've gotten, I suspect
people will be pissed this year because the DVD doesn't play in their
particular player.
Hey, I suspect people will be pissed if we offer forums, and people will
be pissed if we don't.
