I'm a member of a motorcycling board, COG (Concours Owners Group), that is also going through changes. The following was sent by one of the members. If you just substitute fly fishing for motorcycling, or COG, it all sounds very familiar...Just human nature?

You can't please everyone all of the time no matter what > you do. If actions had not been taken, people would have started to > scream about Cog still being in the dark ages. Actions were taken and > people still scream. Sometimes I wonder if the people making the most > noise have any life at all to be getting this upset over a motorcycle > club and/or website.
