Ok, the e-mail i received was dated 29 or 30 september. My brain must have concluded one thing before i finished reading the article..... sorry, had no intention of misleading anyone.

I'm not sure what I think of the details of the proposal anymore... heard too many sides to it, too much other dance politics orbiting my head... and some of it even ties into disputes over what I should be working on right now.

But as for burning bridges, if the organizations can't get along, then perhaps its best that they end up divorced in such a way that neither can go on pretending to be the only game in town. I don't know anymore what the right way to run dancesport is - but I do know that I'm no longer willing to trust a single organization to tell me what it is.

I look forward to the ability to choose between the varied competition offerings of USABDA, NDCA, and third parties, in search of what fits my needs best.

...maybe someday I'll even figure out what those are...
