I have yet to see the relevence of whom started the club or not. All I know is I came along 10 months afterwards and only seen the Arnolds in the shows not at meetings nor any functions. Never seen them as board members or such. This is not to say Randal that you are wrong or Michael is right I just believe this post above has nothing to do with the topics on hand. Well the Arnold part I should state.

I check this forum daily and never seen a post that was thus deleted. I just see this easily getting off topic and becoming a mess. There is to much of "He said, She said" in this world and its a said thing. People can say anything about someone and word of mouth travles fast. Unfortunatly rumour control is a hard thing because it then falls on who is credible. Nothing has been done to me personally by the people named, DFW members, Randal(for you dont know me, we just have a mutual aquaintence) James nor Bonnie. I just hate to see good people get caught up in the He said She said game. Seeing people I know start slamming each other, especially in a common place as this, makes #1 the people involved look foolish, #2 since its on the DFWHS forum, makes the club look childish. I have stated my concerns about the He said She said crap to fellow members and I have seen a well known and respected club get discredited for the same and would not like to see this club fall into the same fate.

Cant we just stick to the topic at hand instead of running off here and there?

PS Hope this doesnt look like I am taking anyones side for I am not. Thanks
