Many of us also participate in other sports, but let's try and keep posts related to skating. If MASF decides to be the premier representative body for all amateur athletics in the Mid-Atlantic region, then we'll set up separate lists for each sport. No one knows the exact demographic makeup of the group, so let's keep offensive language out of the posts. Use your best judgment. And please, no politics or religion.
Participation is entirely voluntary.
You may decide to only listen to messages, and never show up for a skate, or you may be posting every day. It's up to you. There's no obligation to any of the participants. However, there is good reason to allow commercial ventures to participate in the group, if it is to the benefit of all. Already several skate-related companies have expressed interest in supporting MASF, and I think this information should be shared.
