Butch,
Thanks for your very well written explanation. I agree that this old saw of Freds has been kicked around the SEDIV for much to long and you are quite correct in saying it is a DEAD issue, will changes be proposed in the future? I certainly hope so, that is what keeps our Division healthy, will they all be adopted? I hope not, but they should be aired out.
I don't subscribe to everything that Curmudgeon says, but the one thing I do agree with is that the idea that ANY region, large or small, could force CFR to do something they didn't want to do is ludicrous. CFR is a huge region with may resources and they are used to calling their own shots, being TOLD what to do almost certainly ruffles their feathers and the reaction should have been forseeable. Is dropping the ECR a good thing? I don't think so, but when you are the 800 pound gorilla you call the shots, at least in your own part of the jungle, and we can complain and gripe all we want, it won't change a thing. If you want to make a statement, stay away, don't attend the non ECR events or the non SARRC events, it is your right to NOT participate.

Wow. For a "DEAD issue" it seems to have an awful lot of current impact and traction...
