Norman, this exchange started because I made a statement in which I claimed that SPA C2010 was "cost neutral". I have given my reasoning for making that claim, and admitted that it was my opinion.

You want to defend the contract, but I didn't attack the contract (except for trip averaging) and have repeatedly stated that I understand how hard contract negotiation can be. You may have an argument, but I don't think it's really with me. Obviously, certain parts of the contract work for you and your friends, and I'm glad they do. Certain parts work for me as well.

As far your position on"private" boards, I again offer to discuss things on a private board of your choice. In the mean time, I'll continue here as always.
