Right on. Here's to the future.
Every club that acts responsibly, does interesting and neat stuff, and builds
a good rep with TLC (well, with TLC individuals) makes it easier for the next
one to leverage that good relationship and to move on to doing meaningful
things with TLC support more quickly if that's what they want to do.
We as a whole (fans, the LUGNET community, clubs and all the permutations
thereof) are changing TLC perception of us *FROM* crackpots who are a nuisance
and who are all whiney talk, and who violate IP and give TLC a bad name, *TO*
passionate indivduals who get things done, band together into effective (yet
fun) organisations, run events that get TLC lots of positive publicity, and
who are a significant force in the marketplace, with important ideas to share
with TLC about future direction, worthy of consultation with and marketing to.
It doesn't happen overnight but the tide is slowly turning.
Thanks go to *all* clubs everywhere and to *all* dedicated, yet
rational/reasonable AFOLs everywhere around the world who are making this
happen for the benefit of all of us (and who are having some great fun at the
same time).
Just my opinion. But we live in interesting times! Thank you EVERYONE.
