Finally -- an ephiphany...

This has been great...and I mean that sincerely. I appreciate so many people spending so much time -- I've actually learned a lot.

I've poked and prodded to try to understand the situation; because to me it's been a no-brainer -- but the reason is that I was blinded by only looking at it from the standpoint of "what's best for SSC as a stand-alone club." Now I think I finally get it. It's not about names and colors or anything else that people threw up in a reflexive attempt to try to obsfucate the situation; it's about a relatively small group of very passionate people making a rational decision that they liked SSC being an alliance member club and Bridge being the club to which their children "graduate." It was a vote for the status quo.

I sincerely hope it works out for everyone concerned. Good luck...
