I did very much get the irony of it and appreciated the humor side of your post. My thought was that your post coupled with Bill G's (which I think has been deleted) did not have much positive to say to Don.

My thought was, this small community needs us helping and sticking up for each other rather than trying to organize everyone to the same line. I just wanted Don to come away from this thinking he wants to come back here to participate in the forum. He may be a great contributor one day. This forum is nothing without the small postings of the many.

I have not been to a tandem rally yet but I don't think any of us are worried about them losing their small event feel anytime soon .
