Subject: The Weight Limit is Up for Discussion
Info: (27801 views) Posted: Tuesday 1-8-08 09:00:52 PM
Hi Larry & Everyone Else:

Exactly! Turning away people hurts exposure to the fleet and makes the effort of sustaining crew over the season series much harder to administer.

I think where the oppossing coalition left this discuission late last year is on the table for more discussion after the season gets going this year.

Recall turning the tables on this weight limit discussion for some sort of improvement, rather than doing nothing at all, is only 4 to 5 votes away based on the limited sample of voters this last vote.

:: With all due respect, this is the forum for discussion.

:: That said, you are certainly entitled to your opinion as

:: Best regards to all
