Well to keep stirring the pot while Keith takes a break.
Rather than put the burden of overseeing this Data Base on the SCTA, here's
another idea. If you had a minimum of two members of each LSR group (SCTA,
USFRA, ECTA, DLRA, British and European groups) to form the board of a new
International organization. They could also serve as the stewards to verify
the record validity at each venues event.
