In the evolution of things - people spinning off when an organization 
changes is the normal way new organizations form. In reality I think it 
is a good thing. It keeps the pot fresh and gives people options and 
cuts the feathers of people that get too big for their britches.

Will it happen in endurance - beats me (I don't have a crystal ball), 
but I think the AERC needs to focus on the 95% that are not AERC I 
members rather than the 5% that are. I would sure like to see the AERC 
take some steps that show they understand that concept that 95% of the 
members are not interested in international.  I sure don't see that.
