Mike,

This is where the change needs to be made. Instead of the AERC changing 
rules without adequate data to support such changes with a "hope and a 
prayer" it works - it should work to educate all riders to the 
importance of the AERC being able to make an informed decision based on 
good available data.

I see the education challenge to be this that - to educate all the 
riders to the importance of all the vast data available to the AREC BOD 
to make informed decisions. Any other method is not better than shooting 
in the dark.

No one said it would be easy - but normally implementing the correct 
procedures isn't easy.
