I sent Mr. Gross an e-mail way back when. Was real polite, asking if the e-mail we originally received was sent by him. But the response I got was awfully defensive "Yeah, I'm the President, and Proud of it!" He went on to ask for my input, though, and one of the things I said, like others, was basically that actions speak louder than words. One action would be to advertise in our sites and magazines, thus supporting our sport. I'm glad he's at least getting enough of our message to have started making that effort. (Now, if the rest of the "big picture" would change, as well, maybe we could start accepting his money, and make them an ally eventually). I agree with you, Ivan, that he certainly is more aware of us now than he obviously was in the past.
