Speculation has its place, but not in an official report.  If the official
report says, "Jim Holland's horse that died MIGHT have been saved if he had
given more e-lytes at vet check 3," then by the time it gets on Ridecamp, it
has become "Jim Holland is an ignorant SOB who overrode his horse and
refused to give it e-lytes and the vet committee says he killed his horse."


Personally, if some "official" statement were made to directly to Ridecamp, then it wouldn't get blown out of proportion by others. If the committee, whichever one it is, does not want to mention names. then at the very least, use the opportunity to make a statement to educate everyone. You have their attention, why not capitalize on it.
