Too funny, who is going to be the first to boycott Herbert Real Estate because he's working with the OIA (which proposed the GCNM)

Proof there is far more to gain with discussion and compromise in many of these situations.

But if BHO turns the area in to a Monument, I can't boycott his real estate agent since he's in prison.

I would like to see the words in writing. I am afraid I will be ready for a good cry.

I skipped out on this to attend this BSA thing. But my boss attended.

 

[Stephen]

Shoot. Got tied up in stuff at work and forgot to head up there!

 

[Skylinerider]

Small room, not many chairs. Half were reserved. That's why I skipped out.

I read through it rapidly and personally did not see anything about preserving routes except the comment about supporting RS2477 claims. I did note that Mike Noel, Lynn Stevens, Fred Hayes, and Gordon Topham were contributors so at least our voice was heard. Maybe Paul Anderson can give us some advice on this.
