Hi Henry and Hunter. The biggest difference in the way questions are answered 
are two fold.
One. How an individual may answer a question simply expresses their personal 
experience or exposure, or from perhaps knowledge they obtained from work or 
their background. These answers are one persons opinion. If we object, or 
differ, so be it.
We can't sue them nor can we hurt them financially.
Two. How a dealer answers or attempts to answer becomes very different. 
Typically, their answers come from knowledge they obtained from a technical 
school and/or many years of being in the RV business or even possibly 
associated with Airstream for many years. We must be very cautious and very 
detailed, if possible. If an individual  doesn't quite follow those 
instructions to a "T", then it becomes the dealers fault that the individual 
messed it up. If they buy a part, you must teach them how to install it, or 
your nasty if you don't. Then the fun starts. The dealer is now slammed and 
blasted all over the place, and in several nets at the same time. They are 
put down at rally's, luncheons and dinners, and bad mouthed to the extreme.
They are insulted, lied about, and have statements, "in print", that many 
times are just simply not true. This then can become very destructive to 
their business and to their reputation.

Then we wonder "why" dealers choose to stay off these nets and not 
participate with the very people that they are in business to help. Who needs 
the hassle????

Further more, and lastly, the Wally Byam creed apparently, was designed to 
consume paper. The Code of ethics says in part, "to say or print nothing that 
may reflect unfavorably on others."  

If this statement is true, then it would appear to be grossly violated to the 
extreme, by the select few, who feel that because they own an Airstream, that 
they now have a license to behave in a manner that simply becomes disgraceful 
to the vast majority. Yet it continues, usually unchecked by anyone.

In our learned, humble opinion, when this behavior is allowed to continue, we 
then wonder why many folks want nothing to do with the WBCCI club or others 
drop their membership. 

We wonder who will ultimately prevail? It would appear the select few that 
violate all manners of fellowship, have a very strong foothold. Where is the 
"peer" pressure?

We will, in spite of this, continue to help others as often as our time 
permits. We still believe that, when we all work together, instead of 
divided, that we will help further the cause of the Wally Byam Club, and it's 
members, to the maximum.
