    I have to disagree with this. I have no inside information on how the 
decision was made for Northkeep to host the event.  I'm speaking for myself 
and no one else.  I don't know the details about the decision to to take the 
event from Namron either.  If that in fact is what happened. I do know that 
most of the people I've talked with in Northkeep are strong supporters of the 
Northern Region and seem to believe that the NRT and NRW events are good for 
the region.  The decision for Northkeep to host this event would, I think, 
have to have been made by their Excellencies and the Seneschal of Northkeep.  
I know these people and have worked with them for years and cannot believe 
that they were motivated by anything but the good of the Kingdom and region.  
I cannot agree that we should have let this event die as some sort of 
protest, especially as most of us still aren't clear just exactly what it is 
we are supposed to be protesting.  

    Why can't people give others the benifit of the doubt that they are 
acting with good will and doing what they believe is right?
