Red–You bring up lots of very good points, but the question is what do we do about it? If we want more number to show up to CM, then I think we need to reach out and try to bridge the groups.

I have have been told all the story about why this group or that group stopped coming. It has been a long time, some of that stuff has to be forgotten about.

For the DC CM to have any true effect it would be nice if some of these different party could come together and talk. I think the "Pirate Mass" has done a good job of keeping it going, but I agree more has to be done.

(BTW, I was not at the last few rides, but I just got hit last week and my knee is banged up. Take what I said for what its worth.)
