And just what, pray tell, are we old inhospitable farts supposed to feel
about your approach? The tone of your message gives us a wee clue as to
why you may not have been greeted with open arms. The problem is, do you
get it?

You are correct Wright I could have worded that better, I have had many
good
and useful
conversations and dialogue with a number of people on this list as well as
those in the AKA as a whole.
What I state as a clickish and inhospitable attitude seems to be a
convention attitude that I believe would be in the betterment of the
organization to
address. It is nice to see in part it is being addressed.
The tone of my message is merely to show you the level of frustration some
of us feel.
I hear this same level of frustration in others often when the AKA comes
up
in a conversation
with new Killie hobbyists.
Enough of this:
I'd rather talk fish.
I know Damn well the best to learn from are Grumpy old farts, I respect
you
all
quirks and all, don't mistake my blunt style of writing with any form of
disrespect.
that is not the intended consequence of my post.
