Many of these periodic discussions have the same underlying issue. Should 
AERC (meaning the board, committees, etc.) continue chasing themselves in 
circles trying to establish "AERC Endurance?" That is, a defined competition 
where the rules are the same (and applied the same) at sanctioned events 
nationwide. Or, does AERC continue to say, any ride that more or less 
complies with our most important rules can have their results thrown in the 
pot for points. You don't have to comply with whatever you really don't 
agree with.
I can have the Nancy Mitts Way Fun Endurance is a State of Mind ride and do 
whatever I please.
When it becomes AERC sanctioned, I think I'm supposed to treat it as a 
competition run along the guidleines of the national organization. Maybe I'm 
wrong, and that's not what most  people want to see? If an overwhelming 
majority want to continue with a loose collection of do your own thing 
rides, then that is the message that needs to be spelled out. Otherwise, 
those working for standardization are wasting their time.
