Subject: Mr Giffin

Dear sir,

If sir, you would read the Interim Committee Rules / By-laws last adopted on
March 30th, 1995 you will quickly find that the current board is living up
to the existing rules / by-laws. We  a) have a temporary bank account, b) a
temporary mailing address, c) vancancies have been appointed in the
appropriate manner, and d) the primary task of creating a new set of by-laws
is being worked on (actually approved by the board as of Sunday, and will be
mailed in March).

Nowhere were we mandated to Incorporate, obtain non-profit status, or a
checking account under the name of the BJCP by this point in time. Read them
Mr Bill. If we didn't follow the existing set of by-laws we would be
crucified, just as you are trying to crucify us for following a legal
working document.

I find it amazing that someone can complain about spelling in a post 
that itself contains at least seven spelling and grammatical errors, 
not including arguable points like run-on sentences and poor grammar or 
usage.

By the way, I did look up diatribe in the American Heritage Dictionary, 
and it is defined as "A bitter and abusive criticism or denunciation."  
While it may be debatable, I believe Mr. Giffin's posts fit that 
definition.

I have never met (not "meet") Mr. Giffin, and believe I have only 
briefly met one or two members of the board.  My opinions regarding the 
BJCP are open to change through rational discussion in this forum and 
elsewhere.  I must say, though, that Mr. Giffin's barely literate 
rantings do little to convince me of his points.  He may have been a 
C.P.A. for twenty years, but I wouldn't let him near my corporate 
records.

     The Cary-Apex-Raleigh Brewers Of Yore (CARBOY) wish to announce the 
inaugural Shamrock Open on March 16th, 1996 at BB&Y Restaurant in 
Raleigh, NC. Prizes and ribbons will be given for top 3 in each flight 
and BOS. For entry information, email Larry (lmatt at nando.net). 
     Using the slogan "The sixth ones on me", we are using a sliding 
entry fee of $6-first,$5-second,$4-third,$3-fourth, $2-fifth, and the 
sixth entered beer at no charge.     
     Judges are asked to contact Bill MacKenzie at dedpetvet at aol.com if 
they can assist with this event. All judges will be provided lunch and 
overnight accomodations if needed. In addition, we will provide all 
judges with a selection of NC beers from our 9 sponsoring microbreweries.
     
                                                      Thanks,
                                                      Larry Matthews
