First, see post #18, this thread.

I made a mistake and did not listen to a conversation that I should have, considering I made the call. When I make a mistake, I try to correct it as soon as possible. I wish I did not make mistakes, but, I am sure I will again.
JR-

I saw your post #18 and have no desire to rag you about making an error. It doesn't have much to do with my last post though, which I assume is what you are replying to.

The essence of it is, how does AMA rationalize giving themselves the option to walk away from liability risk at an event site that may arise from activities not allowed by their own rules and assessment of risk, absolve themselves of the responsibility for anything that may happen outside the 'official events' time frame but still within the overall time frame of the sanction, and knowing that the site owner has no such option?

"Sorry Mr. Landowner, but the incident you are being sued over happened after our agent left the site. We have no responsibility for what happens then, you understand. We have to protect ourselves from a lawsuit like this that could bankrupt our organization, you see. We do hope the insurance coverage we provided for you under terms of our site use agreement will cover your legal costs and the amount of the judgment against you. Good luck."
