I have gotten many many, didn't
count them but probably 25 or 30, private e/mails supporting my, and others,
position on NO to the dead horse rule. I completely understand the
unwillingness to speak out publicly on controversial issues, given the
likelihood of a darn good flaming. But allot of us are pretty much a
tough hard skinned bunch and extremely opinionated, and prone to over-speaking
of our opinions. However, I still really encourage everyone to speak out.
Telling me privately that you agree is very gratifying to me, and I appreciate
your thoughtfulness, but everybody needs to tell the board. Tell ridecamp,or
whatever endurance list you are on. If somebody flames you for your
opinion, don't worry they will soon move on to flame somebody else,
surviving regular flaming is the great indoor portion of the sport of
endurance. So please, on this and all issues, regardless of your position,
speak up. Annie G.
