Whoa!

What bitching?

I just wanted to discuss it.

I thought that was the point of a forum.

I don't even care if there is a national event this year. Most of my camping is done alone. However, I was signed up for GOX (it seemed like a great event) last year, but a family vacation (previously booked) interfered with the dates selected. I was dismayed about not being able to attend, but was happy that many others would be able to......

I've only been a member for about a year (and change). I don't know any of the leadership of XOC or Ian as well as you do. I just wanted to express my opinion about how much of an asset a national, high-profile (thanks to the efforts of Ian and whomever may have assisted him) event may be to this club.

I have tried to be positive and constructive in this matter and only have opposed those who said to "kill" GOX.

I can now see that it was foolhardy for me to approach this issue, and some subjects, if not prohibited, are simply bad taste.

That's it, I will say no more........

Carlton, Vince: I apologize if I offended you.
