ARN - Drop-outs, or the missing

[JEvans5420@aol.com]

    People drop out of an organization for many reasons.  The SCA has a way 
of propelling its members to change or evolve with their apparent consent.  I 
know of one person who said "I will only fight schlager the way they do in 
Germany."(You know, that facial scaring thing)  But, now that person has 
their own, and fights HR         just like all the rest of us.  So, it is my 
opinion, and just my opinion that people don't drop out of the SCA just 
because someone spoke disparagingly of his foil, or he/she did not agree with 
a rule change, but there were other factors.  Now, they may have used the 
foil thing, or the rule change as an excuse, but something else propelled 
them to that decision. 
    So, the question is, would an old style tourney that just the Dons run, 
bring the missing out of the woodwork like termites at a house fire?
