The amazing thing to me in this thread, is that it would appear that none of the critics have taken the time to email V.P. Hallenbeck privately, or send him copies of the many public posts about topics that are bothersome to so many. Why is it that many of us (not all) are content to sling the negative arrows on the public bb and turning-off those potential members who may be on the fence about joining CCGTCC,... instead of emailing the individual club officer(s) with your concerns? I wonder why everything must be made public? Have we forgotten that the U.S. Postal Service is still in business, or have we become so dependent upon this, and other electronic bulletin boards, to air our gripes, that no one seems to be paying any attention to many of us? Just wondering aloud.
