just wondering if you, Jeff , were the "frustrated volunteer" in the thread title
or was the complainer the "frustrated volunteer":
as in, had he volunteered time/effort to Blue lake work party[ies] and was bent about this effort not allowing him to register early vs. paying a $10 membership with no volunteer effort would allow someone else to register early?
this doesn't change the points you go on to make, but may shed some light on where he was coming from/ his thought process
your personal history of helping him out and the jab about who and why folks play the Slosh didn't help his argument
Slosh players with "X" under the 'current PDGA' certainly aren't playing for the rating and i expect next years' Slosh are gonna fill just fine
