Actually I don't know about Ed, but I don't care a rat's behind about 
changing the USEF. The USEF can go any direction it wants - that's not 
my concern. My concern is the AERC being drug down the tubes because of 
its blind support of it. I am not a member of the USEF so I have no say. 
I, however, am a member of the AERC and I do have a say.
