Dave, I'd never ever ever never criticize anyone for choosing your path - it is a legitimate form of protest. The Board and the Olympic Sailing Committee very well understand that this is a period of "show me," and that it will take tangible and focused effort to win back those of us who have left the ranks. I hope there will be some of that stuff on display soon.

Incidentally, the Tornado pic on the membership cards was out before the Olympic thing happened. I tried to get one, but missed out.

After watching Lionel Messi play, I realize I need to sail harder.
