Let's assume 4u2nv is not a Bolshevik and could have better phrased the question, "How can I get involved in Pattern without it costing me a bloody fortune?"

Lets assume, Bob, that I proposed an idea that I would have enjoyed a discussion on. Instead, I got people who dont know me questioning my motives and my ideals. I fly, I compete, let me rephrase that, I fly at competitions as I do not see my self as competitive. I enjoy spending time with a core group of guys that have like minded interests. I found found AMOST all of them to be great guys!! I have been doing this for about 6 or 7 years.

My original post stated that I would more than likely agree with most objections, and the ones that heve been voiced are valid and I DO agree with them. RByrd's reasoning resonated best for me but the others who discussed why they felt the idea had ono merit were also on target. I asked love ot or hate it... I am guessing hate it!!! OK I get it!! Bad Idea!!
