Re: [RC] EN Drug Test Fee-to vet committee - rides2far

Thanks Bob! I feel better. I KNEW that had to be wrong...thus the request
for help. I swear, I sat here and did it on the calculator like 5 times,
thought, there's a mistake... I have been going pretty blind lately. >g<
By the way, don't worry about the education the school kids are getting
these days...I teach Art. We all specialize you know...Truman doesn't try
to teach spelling. :-))

OK, move over the decimal. The premise stands the same. Does drug testing
rate as high as all other costs per ride combined? Are all rides to be
tested at the same level...championships vs. also ran backyard 25 milers?
Is there not another way?

The way I understand it, we're having a problem with defining acceptable
amounts etc. Couldn't we just send this thing into committees...semi
indefinately?

I am sorry but you have misplaced a decimal point. While it
is just a simple little microscopic dot of ink it doers mean
a great deal when analyzing the results.

Pleas, when you go to school for teaching on Monday, have
one of your students show you on the blackboard (if they
still use them) how to multiply five times 20,860.

Subject: [RC] EN Drug Test Fee-to vet committee


Note to Ridecamp:
I have typed in the addresses to all veterinary committee
members in the cc box. If you reply to this message, it will
go to all vet committee members.


  Feedback is desired about raising the drug test fee to

$5.00

How many "entries" were there in AERC rides last year?
Multiply that by $5. Is this problem this big...compared to
loss of trails, etc. etc. etc.? Are we going to put as much
money towards drug testing as everything else combined?
(usual per rider fee)  I looked at the 2003 yearbook. (can't
find a newer one). We had 20,860 starters. If they all paid
$5 more for drug testing that's $1,043,300. FOR DRUG
TESTING??? Please, somebody tell me my math's screwed up.
I'm in a hurry to go somewhere and for the life of me I
can't imagine this being a number we're thinking about
spending on drug testing.

I definately vote "No" on the $5 fee.  I would also be
perfectly willing to have a "test on demand" program where
if somebody just "chooses" to test my horse...rather than
random testing, they're welcome to. Of the rides I've been
to where they tested...I usually knew who they suspected,
but that person NEVER got drawn for the random test. Testing
randomly sure makes you have to test a lot of cases you
don't care about.
