Hello my friend, I hope all is well. Let me say this on the subject. My statements and beliefs are mine alone. I'm not speaking for any other individual or organization.

Your questions have merit, but even if you got answers to them; What would it change? Would the answers convince you to join? Would they help you to see the direction of the NHFL? I'm asking you these questions as a friend. A friend who has seen others (including NHFL members) ask you questions concerning the MPFL when their main purpose was to bait you and then attack your responses with some oh-so-clever passive/aggressive verbage.

I speak from experience... We tried to answer any and all questions concerning the Seawall Brawl. I found it ironic that those who seemingly had the most questions or pushing for information weren't in attendance, but the people who hardly asked or didn't ask anything... showed up to play.

Remember our old buddy Mr. Touchdown??? He wanted answers to his questions, even though his statements read as an attack on me and others. Someone in our community used Mr. TD as a psuedo screen name because they didn't have the guts to get in front of their comments. It's hard to take that type of bashing seriously, when you know that person probably has an inferiority complex and anonymously cowering from the shadows is what they do best.

I'm not implying that your questions are some type of veiled attack, and yes... I know you sign your name to your comments just like I do. I'm just asking... will the answers you seek, bring about some type of peace?

Personally I feel that anything national has to be supported by the majority. If it isn't, then all we have is symantics. When I say majority I'm not talking about all 50 states, I'm strictly talking about numbers. For example... Say we had only 200 people in this community if something came along and 101 people supported it; we have a majority. It doesn't matter if most of those people came from the same state; it's still a majority.

The NHFL is one of the few organizations out there trying to get something supported by the members of this community. They have to be commended for that. It's not like there's a lot of choices out there. Weirdwolf's comments are basically saying either people should step up and make the organization being talked about, or join one that's already in existence and help it grow. (Lynn if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me; because I'm not speaking for you, I'm just trying to interpret what you wrote)

I can't remember if Raiderman wrote this but... someone said that not everything is set in stone. Things can be voted on and changed but not to accommodate the few. This shows me that there's some flexability for change.

I'm no recruiter for the NHFL. My loyalties as a member of this community go:

Hobby, Electric football is the reason we are all here.
Brothers, those I consider to be like family.
TBA, I'll support my back yard league before any other.
MFU. Footballers across the country unified through fellowship.

Anthony... I would hope that anyone who decides to respond to your post will see it in the spirit that was intended, and give you the answers that you're looking for.

Peace,

Don Smith
