I (and I believe all of yall) joined the CTC to make new friends and the Crossfire was the commonality in the equation that lead to the friendships I (we) enjoy today. The issue is the list of members and I think that list should consist of active members for two reasons, one is for the GTG planner to be able to use, if you are planning a GTG or RUN knowing how many is very important to the plan and the second is for others wishing to participate to know who to contact. I understand that life sometimes gets in the way of wants and that means you can't come to the GTG's but I think not even posting a simple I can't make it when you are reading the posting is inconsiderate and well just plan old rude and sorry guys but I'm from the south and rudeness is just wrong. I don't see an exclusion of anyone, any member that participates (and that may mean only posting a sorry guys) should be on the CTC list and people who do not participate should not be on the list, dang all you gotta do is start participating to be on it. Maybe it should not be called a "CTC MEMBERS LIST" maybe we should call it a "ACTIVE" or "PARTICIPATING CTC" list.
Sorry I rambled so I'll sum it up:
I think the list should be a participating members list. If I have whizzed in someones post toasties with my thoughts I am truly sorry because for what it's worth these are JMHO. Am I still invited? Lets Roll....
