Dave, I think I read in Bill Jollie's post that he requested direct e-mails. I have had dealings with Bill for many years and I believe he will provide a coghent response to your private inquiry. My perception is that Bill, as the newly installed President, does not wish to get in a " " contest about prior club managment in an open forum. He is not going to say that someone "acted stupidly", and I find that admireable. Now, I personally regret that you were mistreated when you were a member. I read your current posts as being vengeful, self-righteous and arrogant. I hope I am wrong because I have felt that your previous activities and posts have added to my Silver Strike experience. Sincerely George
