I am getting closer to being convinced.
Question to the membership:

Can even one member out there, that has been keeping up with the Slab debate from the start, believe this?

"But, what was important to me was for the slabbing companies to be allowed back. If they did return, I wanted the membership to have the right to make their own decision on whether to deal with these companies. These companies didn't fair well in their initial attempt in 2001. I wanted to see if they would come back and try again. If they did return, our members would again have the freedom of choice"
