Dear Bubba,

When 2 great things clash there is a winner and a loser. Sort of like a circle of trust. When someone breaks the circle of trust, they understand the possible consequences and the outcomes that are associated with it. The first time they break the circle of trust, it is written off as a mistake. The second time they get off with a slight warning. The third time they break the circle of trust we call it a bad day. The fourth time we take things more seriously.

After they have been removed from the circle of trust they believe they have freedom and opportunity. That is true, but only with individuals other than those that are still a part of the circle of trust. The world is large, larger than anything either of us have seen or experienced. There is ample opportunity for all, including those that have lost their place in circles.

They think ohhh my, the world is based on a capitalist structure, lets just spend the $$$ and get accepted back into the circle of trust. What they fail to realize is that the circle of trust is based on trust, respect and principles. No dollar signs can replace any one of the components of the circle of trust. These are the core values that make the circle of trust unique.

It is with great displeasure that I am finding out you are unhappy with the current situation.

However bear in mind it is not you that holds the keys to the kingdom, therefore your input is valued and respected but can be overruled.

PS. Selfish: I find it very difficult to understand how the removal of 1 link can be stopping the interest in SQ and SPL when there is a whole media culture that wakes up in the morning to think of different/better ways to make it more mainstream. Think of it as a drop in the Ocean.

FYI: Super Street Magazine is celebrating their 10th anniversary in October, so I would like to welcome all of you that feel you are up to the task of wanting to make SQ and SPL more mainstream to pool all your resources ( $ ) together and purchase a page if you feel so dedicated to make the sport more widespead. I got an e-mail from my account exec. at Primedia this morning and their rates are quite good.

Synopsis of the whole situation is:

As one of my buddies would say:

"LOL Sounds Like A Personal Problem..."
