We just went through a 12 hour message flurry on the Airstream-List listserve regarding "old guard" and attitudes.

The list serve came up with a logo, you may have seen it in other threads here. The folks were talking about where to place it and someone suggested up around the WBCCI numbers area on the front of the trailer. A long time WBCCI member replied, "Think that Jackson Center and the IBT would take a dim view of adding anything to the space they have occupied for over 40 years."

Well that statement hit me wrong and I said "I guess the old guard will escort me off the rally grounds if I put a decal up there".
The next response was someone raising the issue of old guard and what does this mean and off to the races we went.

As it ended up I did a sermon on the mount and someone said I should send it to the International President. I would if I could, I said, but I just went to their web site and it doesn't even list the officers and how to contact them.

Lastest statistics, membership still dropping. First year attrition rate of new members is extremely high. Net 2001 membership numbers ended up negative.

Enough said.
