It has been suggested that I have called Nick a liar and I would assure all that is not the case nor the intent. In fact I thought I had made a point of stating that I assumed all mentioned were speaking in good faith.
That said I do not step away from the above post and I reaffirm my meaning that if this matter is to be resolved it will require LEADERSHIP.
Now some plain speaking and clear statements will allow all to act in good faith.
If motions are to be put and change is desired those who want it should man up and publicly state what they want changed in plain English.
I or others may agree or may disagree but open discussion is what is required anything less is in my opinion a craven way to behave. If you believe in something stand up and say so don't hide in small rooms and make changes by stealth.
Perception is everything behave in an open manner and people will respect your opinion even though they may not agree with it.

Now again I will state the Fly is the Fly, its not Bench rest and does not want to be Bench rest.
You don't need two guns to win a match and you don't need to shoot 2 classes with a single gun either. Highest score is the overall winner regardless of LG or HG class. That's how it is meant to be. Fly has grown for over 20yrs based on this simple formula at a time when most disciplines have been going backwards.
If it aint broke don't fix it
