There you go.

I'm sure most people could give shit since I am not planning Dublin this year but I thought I would let you know. The site is fuctional now but I will be learning and working on it. I have been wanting to learn this stuff anyway so I could build a site for Julies real estate business. If you were a member before you will need to register again because all of the data from the old site was lost. www.roamingdz.com for the slack asses

You could write the script for them.

I was thinking the same thing.

As I said above I may need to rethink that.

How you doooin' ?

Maybe you're right. I might need to rethink that. Althought I guess I could still be elected if not a member. I spoke of running before but stepped aside when Mike G stepped up to the plate. I'll have to give it some thought again.

I just sent an e-mail to Glen Bangs stating my intent to leave the USPA in Jan is removed from the board. I would suggest that anyone that feels the same to do this.

I just spoke to Trey from Skydive Atlanta. He told me the only reason he renewed his group membership was it is required for the Ga. Tech club to be able to jump there. It seems that the DZOs are as tired of a deaf organization(no offense Billy) as we are.

I am not sure if people realise that if you have homeowners insurance, you probably have personal liability insurance along with it. I have heard of cases where it covereed skydiving related incidents. Maybe somebody can verify that. Anyhow, there has got to be other sources of personal liability insurance than USPA. Insurance guys??? DZs could require proof of liability insurance rather than USPA membership. I'm covered through mine but I am betting I would have trouble at most DZs getting them to accept it instead on a USPA card. I guess I'll call around and find out.

Didn't use to be

This is a "devil's advocate" response. Don't shoot the messenger. I offer this because there's a lot of lynch-mob type talk going on, and nobody seems to be considering what may be the other side of the argument. Let's say that Jan's public comments were the cause of USPA losing four counts on the Skyride lawsuit, which cost the organization (that's us) a lot of money (that's ours). So, what's wrong, then, with ousting the person that caused that loss? Wouldn't this be just like any other business getting rid of an executive whose poor performance has caused business problems? If you were the holder of Enron stock which became worthless because of executive malfeasance, then I'd bet that you would be ready to terminate and hold accountable those executives. So how come everyone here seems to want to do the opposite with Jan, and save the BOD member who caused the financial loss to USPA? Okay, I'm done being the devil's advocate now. Please don't shoot me. These are not my personal feelings. But I think the question needs to be asked. Devils advocate to your devils advocate. How are her public statements any different than anyone elses? Edit: My "Take Back the USPA" sentiments are not based on this incident, as we don't have any information about this incident. In fact they are based on several YEARS of ineffective representation by several long term members of the board, and extremely suspect behavior by the same members of the board to further their own gains, and protect their network. I agree. My feelings are not tied to just one issue. On the issue with Jan, I don't want her outed necause she was speaking for me. If they are going to throw people out for their opinion then I need to be right next to Jan.

Why not. This is the bonfire

Damn, you get around

Just don't be upset when you loose your turn.

Funny, you would think that would not describe too many people, but it does.

I'm about ready to get rid of Direct TV

most of the people who comment (all day long) on newspaper websites are moron losers, so don't let it bother you too much. The SF Chronicle has a cast of characters that show up whenever anyone dies anywhere but on the couch. Would you want their life? Hmm...kind of like posting here all day. Hey wait a minute.

Problem is that even the DZs that are not members usually require membership for the insurance

Or maybe a show about being a DZ.com mod.

I just saw a preview for a show called Parking Wars. It's a fucking show about parking lot attendents. WTF!!! I think I'm going to make a show about picking up dog shit. I'll make a million.

I actually thought this is what cocheese thread was about.

That's just wrong man. Wrong but funny. I use to be on the front page of my Google search but I'm slipping now.

People don't care enough to vote for a president.

I'm not sure why you would make that statement but it is not true for everyone. All of my caches are in good order and in areas that are not sensitive to the traffic they produce. Everytime I go caching I pickup trash along the way. The other day I was looking for a cache in a National Forest and ended up carrying out as much trash as I could carry. I forgot the trash bag I usually take with me. If your arguement is that it is bad for the enviroment, that can be said for almost any activity by over zellous enviromentalist. Take skydiving for instance.
