Rob that was very counter-contrarian of you. I would agree that I don't think that it is an overall lack of quality shows that is keeping the hobby from expanding. I think it is a combination of overexpansion in the "heyday," genuine lack of interest for the most part in the younger set (natural), the like-it-or-not perception that it is a hobby rife with chicanery and charlatans, and the economy. I really don't see a 2nd National as being a panacea for any of that. On the other hand it would be fun to go to two every year.
