Only that maybe the 100 mile question on the AERC membership survey
should have been a little better thought out.  I've done 12 (I
think) 100's in that last 9 year period, some years I did 3 or 4, and
others 0, but last year I did 1, I only had the choice of answering the
question as "rarely", and if that is the case for most people,
or most people did less than "rarely", perhaps the question
didn't even need to be asked.  

I would like to ride more 100's, but I don't really care to keep
repeating the same ones over and over, and there aren't a lot to choose
from in my area.  If I am going to travel far, I would prefer to do
multidays as I get a lot more satisfaction from completing a 5 day ride
on the same horse than I do by riding a 100.  I have a horse ready
and would have done the 20 Mule Team 100 in February, except that it is
dual sanctioned FEI, and I am not going to do that again.  The AERC
can count me one among many members who they push away from doing 100's
when they dual sanction the 100 mile rides with FEI.  I'm not
arguing, I'm just stating the way it is, and wish somebody who came up
with the survey questions could have figured out a way to ask that
instead of asking a question that they already knew the answer to.
