 Yes, the world does not revolve around AERC, but people who compete in
 endurance would go to AERC as the source of information about endurance
 competition in the U.S.A.  If there is another source I would like to hear
 about it.

Actually, what has happened is that several people have accused him of 
lying--behind his back, as is traditional with Ridecampers. Recently he fell, 
broke his arm, and ruined a replaced knee so that now it has to be replaced 
again--and dear Becky Huffman wote me a note that began "laughing my ass 
off". 

I hope you're all having a wonderful time gossiping and backbiting at his 
expense. I think it's filthy myself. If you'd all pay attention to your own 
business instead of everybody else's you'd have fitter, sounder horses. 

Bill provided a lot of valuable data to my list members. he is a hard 
working, honest man who has been doing a superior job of conditioning. Those 
who missed the point are the kind of losers every winner needs.
