Sharpy01 brings a good point to the table here guys.

Why? Honesty and transparency are the best defense against false info.
If all the MAAC business was posted on the MAAC website a good deal of the misinformation, innuendo and outright falsehood could be completely avoided in these Forums. I don't believe that most members in this day and age don't have access to, or that someone in their club doesn't have access to the web somewhere's.

It is well understood that most members do not have Internet access, but that is no excuse for not using that venue as a prime forum for information passage.
However, thats another thing that could be brought to the forefront in our MAC magazine as a way of addressing this issue and it wouldn't take much time to do properly...
Realize that by flaming others on-line in the Forums is the fastest way to get a thread locked or pulled and then the innuendo's start because the info that was once there is now gone... It does take careful consideration on part of the contributor's to these threads to avoid bringing their own personal opinions into the information thats presented. That way maybe, just maybe we can make up for lost time and changes that are long overdue instead of arguing amongst ourselves...
So far we're doing pretty good!
