Before everyone piles on Terry Mickle, we should all note that the extent of his "complaining" (on RCSE, at least) was this statement:
> There was a posting before Visalia that there would be a JR 9303 given > to the pilot finishing in 100th place. What ever happened with that? > Since I finished in 100th place I'm just curios. To me, that doesn't quite qualify as taking a sponsor/donor to task. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Malvey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 5:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Visalia 100th Radio Goal, that was ME! So I get this, Terry Mickle is unhappy because of a statement made on this list that the DONATED JR 9303 radio was to go to "100th place". I just looked at the original post. Is does indeed say 100th place, but NOT necessarily in open. Here's the message: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg87492.html 100th place overall was: 100 James Ludwigson 2386 Odd he isn't writing posts about this. Further, it amazes me that anyone would take a SPONSOR/DONOR to task for how his donation was given away. I thought John Diniz explained it fairly well. But even if you wanted to hold them to the fire on the 100th place thing, I think it is just as easy to say it was 100th overall, not in open alone. CVRC made the decision, and I can hardly see how anyone can be upset. This was a last minute addition to their prize pool and the club decided how to best use it. Most have no idea how tenuous the relationship is with sponsors and getting donations. If they did, we would see fewer posts along the lines that got this thread started. Makes me wonder how quick JR will be to step up to the plate for more donations the next time they are asked. Oh well, let's get back to bashing Gordy. That's a far better sport!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
