1) It says it's DRAFT in the first sentence !
2) Why would copyright concern anyone but the owners ? Seems like petty criticism with no purpose or substance.

1. Of course it does. But, it has been placed in the public domain, so reasonable responses are legitimate.
2. See below.
There is, Greg, a wide difference between criticism, petty or otherwise, and legitimately conveying one's reactions to others' efforts or asking questions.
As one who has faced copyright situations more than a few times, and who has spent considerable effort and resources on making sure copyrights are protected, the subject is one that springs to my mind on occasion. I regret that you are piqued by my comments. How could I have better served your interests?
Mr. Weafer: You wrote, in part:"
There are a number of disatisfied
BOC Members around the country "who know stuff" and of course there are satisfied members as well. It all depends on what you think the club should be doing. I do not intend to air all the strongly differing views in public as there is nothing to be gained by this, suffice it to say the people involved have concluded that this is the only way forward."
But, how are we Bristoleers to learn if we do not have an open dialogue between those "who know stuff" and those who don't? Perhaps there are even good suggestions out here to be considered that could be of help to all parties?
