I gotta tell ya Amy, that you refer to a nuance that many of us would miss, particularly this early in the process, and particularly when this nuance was not expressed by the President of SAI, a sister company to and licensee itself from CSL. Indeed, wouldn't the new club operate pursuant to a license from CSL? I understand how appropriate it is to commence ops on Mr. Shelby's birthday, but I also note this date is just after the expiration date of SAAC's license, at least as presented in the Nov. 14 letter.

Even though I am a SAAC member, I have no dog in this fight either. At the same time, however, I certainly want to see the continuation of celebration of these vehicles, and the maintenance of the value of the marque. I can certainly understand that SAI wants the same thing, but (a) clearly there is some profit motivation (profit not necessarily equaling greed), and (b) the jury is of course out on whether SAI can continue the good deeds (as opposed to missteps) of SAAC.

For folks like me, you have an opportunity to win us over. Fairness and candor will mean a lot.
