There are at least 47 references to self in the opening post of this thread. This is very revealing indeed, and stands as a guidpost to those who would understand the author's internal needs for writing it and the REAL current state of ALOC.
But, my criticism will not stop until there is no longer a reason to criticize.
Respectfully,
True "grassroots" is democracy, and that doesn't work too well. The Republic is a better form.
I think if anything, grassroots needs to be defined. Dictatorship has been defined. What does "grassroots" mean?

Successful organizations I've been a part of in the past have always had a Constitution, Bylaws, elected officers (direct election or by a directly elected board of directors) and maybe an elected board of directors for larger organizations. Also, the successful ones had a weak executive and a strong board of directors or such body; the least successful had less written organization and a strong executive.
Again, I hope this move comes from within ALOC. If it doesn't, you would be a great asset in helping organize it from without. SFCRetired has expressed a strong interest in helping. Kirbinator has a good head on his shoulders, and we sure could use his level-headedness. It would be great if Dianosis came along; that just may not be possible.
There are many others I can think of whom I would love their support. Johathon is a get-it-done kind of guy who is obviously willing to take risks. Ruger is passionate, even if we don't always agree on methods. Ranger is an organization man. Hoss has heart and drive. McDonalk (Mystic) thinks things through, coming to thoughtful conclusions (again, not always in agreement with mine ). There are lots of other good folks at ALOC and here. We can get it done through ALOC or not, but we can get it done.
All we need is a core of six to ten founding members.
