I won't speak for Drex, but I think I know where he's coming from.
Yeah, it was a surprise. To him... Just as it was for Neils.
I can see how starting a thread about a meet that you 1) have no intentions of hosting, and 2) cannot host even if you HAD the intentions of hosting could put someone in a defensive position. (I mean... we were talking dates without even a host. And, no, Neils had not volunteered to host one -- only to help with one if it was held.)
Let's all just take a deep breath and forget about this for a while.
Drex did have a good point: For our next meet should try to do something with BMWNA in the Spartanburg area when they launch the e70 sometime in the Spring. As you all know, I live one hour away.
Maybe we could work on something like that... a sort of "homecoming," "coming out," "X5 World Meet" party.
(Imagine having a dock and boat party at my house... and then caravaning to Sptbg. the next day? Sounds like fun to me!)
