Topic regretfully discussed

[markee]

I have had the pleasure of meeting many great folks over the past two years from attending Buzzball, Seawall Brawl and the MFCA convention in Canton. I have made many friends, shared many ideas and learned many things that have enhanced my part in the hobby as well as in the playing of MEFL. It pains me to bring up this topic and I hope it is the only time that I will do so.
I have just noticed a disturbing trend as I have had time to sit down and play MFEL with my son and having recently selling a few of my teams. What I have sadly discovered was missing players from almost all of my teams. In the case of one team four players and in the others one or two. It takes a lot of time and heart to paint and decal these teams and for me, it is a work of passion. I love and I enjoy sharing it with all of you out there. It is unfortunate that someone out there has violated my trust and taken some players.
This will not change my approach to participating and bringing my teams to these events. However, I will be more concious and cautious when allowing others to share in my work. Please do not be offended if I am a bit more cautious. However, events have forced me to do so.
God bless all.
