And of course we all understand that much as we all love Howard (or don't, 
as the case may be), Howard is not the Official Voice of AERC, and that not 
all endurance ride starts are dangerous swirling herds of bucking, kicking 
horses.

However, I must say that the 'feel' of Howard's post seems pretty right on 
to me.  The freedom and individuality of endurance is part of what makes it 
what it is - and of course it's every rider's right to just not go to a 
ride where he/she doesn't like the start procedure.  No point in throwing 
out a whole sport because of one day's event that you aren't happy with.
