II love USMS andit is so much better than World Aquatis that There is no comparison. Sometimes it does things I find strange or even infuriating. I do not believe there was any malice but I think scheduling a major event on Rosh Hashanah was a mistake. At this point, I think the only thing that can be done is to acknowledge the mistake apologize and do better in the future.
Agreed. It is sad but it seems our first instinct when we perceive someone has wronged us, is to assume malevolence. Sometimes it helps me to realize that it is very probable that most decisions that are made in this world were not made with me in mind (and certainly were not orchestrated to piss me off).

I’ve been following this discussion, and I concur with this. As unfortunate as the situation is, I really doubt that anyone at USMS even thought “Just for spite, let’s piss off a large portion of our membership.” I would guess just the opposite happened, and there was a “How can be accommodate everyone?” consideration. But alas they weren’t able to, and something had to give in the end.
