G'day Mike,

Then why post them and make us non BSA/GSUSA people truely feel like we
dont belong?
While I realize that the majority of Scouts-l is BSA based, does that mean
you truely have the right to exclude those of us do not belong apart of the
BSA?
Doesnt this go against what WOSM is trying to get us to respect all
scouts, and that we are truely all one family and that we are not to
discriminate, simply becuase of where, and how we live?
Look at what you said about not feeling comfortable with other
organizations. Mabye, now you feel what we feel when we get such postings
all the time.
Before you say post more, it would be great when I do take the time to post
(and I have done so several times in the last few weeks!) if you BSAers
actually bothered to let us know that you had read what we had posted,
instead of just ignoring it.
There is also enough non BSA and no GSUSA people on the list to have helped
you set up a truely international Trivia Question set if you had even
bothered to darn well ask. So, why didnt you? Or can I take this as your
un-interest in learning more about the organizations you say you know
nothing about?

A pity then Mike, that you dont feel comfortable with asking the
International Compent of Scouts-l to send informantion to you, so that you
could then include it and then *everyone* could have learnt something!
