[Anthony D Burgess]

I understand what you're talking about. I have had the chance to deal with the youth. They are much smarter than we were at that age.

This community must understand that they are the future of this hobby. But as long as we act the way we do toward one another, fighting one another on this board, not understanding one another or even trying to understand one another we are setting a bad example.

The youth that I had the chance to deal with and show them this hobby asked a lot of question. 1 Why doesn't this game play like what I see on TV ? This is the main question I get from them.

They need a game of structure, balance, discipline, a game that reflects the actual game, a game that will hold there attention, a game that wile playing it will teach the things that they can apply to and in the real game.

There is no other game out there today that has the potential to do just that. Only this hobby have that potential.

But we fight over this and that, trying to reinvent something that others have already done. We hide behind what we like rather than stand for what is best for the hobby. And we wonder why this hobby is not respected.

We take and alter to fit our agenda rather than learn to do it has it was intended.

Well guess what, the youth are doing the same thing. They have no discipline, no structure, they think that what ever they do is right and will be accepted.

Until we as men set the bar, set the example of discipline, structure, obedience, love, fellowship, sportsmanship, then how can we can't expect to teach the youth of today.

BigLock, I think what you're doing is a good thing, and I hope that in helping the youth that we also help ourself.
