We need to be careful about changing rules. No change will stop every undesirable person. We must give the board the power to use a certain discrimation. My husband is a tax accountant. He spends his days looking for ways around untold numbers of rules for his very large real estate buying and selling company. He usually does find ways around paying taxes in the millions of dollars for his company. If there is a rule there is a way around it. We need to give the board the power to use common sense and let it decide if an applicant has the best interests of the breed and the club in mind. If the board had had that power with regards to Hunte, he would not be a member. Our board would have felt safe turning down his application. The potential suite would not have been worth Hunte's time and this issue would be over. WE CANNOT MAKE SO MANY RULES THAT WE CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THEM OR THAT THEY FORCE OUT PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE BORDER WITH SUCH RULES. And!!!!! Making lines in the sand will only cause people to challenge where the line is. sheila --------------------------------- Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo!
