I'm going to probably surprise you a little, shiznit, and basically agree with you on this point. I did send in a card... not because I'm prepared to absolutely vote DPA in at this moment, but because all the card does is allow a vote to be taken. I too would want to know that everything is "fully functional" before pulling the trigger on the changeover. But I want a heck of a lot more than "fully functional"! I want an association that is clearly advocating restoration. What I absolutely do NOT want is an association that makes every excuse in the book why that supposedly cannot happen... an association that continually tries to manage our expectations downward. All I'm looking for is someone to fight for us, not concede defeat and try to make the best of it. If DPA will do that, I'll vote for them. I want them to be fully functional (and they will have to address that), but that is only one part of the big picture here... and not the most important part IMO either.
