$44 - Same as in Town

[flyhi 24]

I have watched others rant about being forced to join USPA and the worthlessness of that process. In general, I hung out on the sidelines and refused to commit. Now, they have my dander (What the hell is dander, anyway?) up.
In my quest to eventually write the Great American Novel, I figured I would follow a progression. Random graffiti around the neighborhood, graduate to post whore for a while on here, and move on to write the Great American Letter to the Editor prior to attempting the Great American Novel. Attempting to pick a subject in which I was somewhat conversant, I wrote my GALE to Parachutist. I pointed out some good stuff and some inconsistencies in their publication. All in all, a very balanced letter. Well the good stuff appeared verbatim, but they edited the hell out of the rest of my letter! They totally changed the content and made me sound like a blithering idiot. It looked like Ozzy Osbourne got a hold of that thing. I have lost all respect for the organization and people who are tasked with supporting our sport. I feel very let down.
So, for $44, you can get screwed either downtown or by the USPA. Thanks a bunch, guys.

I'd be really, really interested in seeing the before and after of your letters. I destroy other people's writing for a living, you see, and I might be able to discern the justifiability or lack thereof.

I would also be very interested in your posting the original letter and the edited version. It could be quite informative.

USPA does give you the convenience of not having to leave the house.

I'm posting from work now, but originally wrote the letter from home. Cannot confirm that I kept a copy, but will check tonight.
