[SEL] Re: SEL Digest, Vol 17, Issue 8

Thats interesting Dave.  I have been around the shows for about 13 years and
I find that the only time there is a problem with atmosphere depends on the
the company.  Never had any problems with the guidelines.

And I will repeat it until I am blue in the face - if you are unhappy get
elected to the board of the NHMA and bring about what changes you would
like.  Nothing will ever happen while people sit on the fence.  I did and
was happy with what I achieved.
