[AlpacaTalk] Re: Old Boys Club
I think people are well aware of what "Old Boy's Club" means. I think
what people are attempting to tell you that there are some people
disposed to controlling others - that is their nature. There are
those who are working to make this a great industry for everyone -
especially the smaller farms. I think what people are trying to tell
you is to focus on those who are working for the industry and how we
can improve the industry for all members regardless of size.
Let me state an example: Ideal Alpacas! Entry fee - ownership in an
Alpaca that carries the pedigree of one of many males used to improve
the herd along with a web site to display and conduct business. If you
don't like the entry fees in one promotion look for another rather
than tear down the honest efforts of some to succeed, ooorr, create a
new one that you think will work better.
The reason for this post is one more attempt to help you see the high
road and find an approach that makes you successful rather than
attempting control over a group that have developed a very successful
program - sounds like you have.
If you have issues with AOBA, then send AOBA your constructive
criticism with possible alternate ideas that they may implement. Let's
develop a live let live appraoch and target those things that keep
this industry moving ahead for everyone.
This approach is difficult for some persons because it begiles their
nature, but then we can all learn and improve. Let's try it.
