Again, this DPA thing is not the same as USAPA, but there is likely some root in SLI dissatisfaction IMO.
Again, I would ask you to point to anything from DPA that talks about SLI dissatisfaction being part of the "root" of why the organization was started. I have found nothing of the sort. Their web site is full of reasons as to why they think DPA would be a better choice for our pilot group. Dissatisfaction with the SLI is not one of them.
As for the graffiti... I'll take your word for it. (Although I have not seen it.) But even so, I don't see how you make the connection that it is a "root" issue with DPA. Again, the AJC article we are discussing could easily leave the reader with that impression. I think this is inaccurate reporting and misleading.
