In Response To: A Proposal to Start the US Backgammon Federation (Phil Simborg)

Just in case it was not clear from my previous "Grass Roots" post, I support Phil and his initiative and desire to move this forward.

I am willing to serve as a director. I want to see this succeed for the good of this great game. I encourage other like minded individuals to stop complaining and wishing things would improve and step forward and help be part of the solution.

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." George Bernard Shaw

Phil Simborg is an unreasonable man. In the process, he may have ruffled various people's feathers. It is also why I believe he is the right person at this point in time to lead this attempt at progress.

    • Note that this is just my suggestion and warnings to stop the pedantic fighting about trivialities that have prevented both worldwide and national BG cooperation for 3+ decades *NM*
