Sent: Oct 18, 2004
Subject: approved trade & disbanding of trade committee

Effective Week 7:
 
To MNA: Doyle Alexander, Mike Cubbage
To NYN: Buddy Bell, Steve Stone
 
----------------------------------------
 
It has reached the point where seemingly each trade has become grounds for petty bickering in some form, which I no longer feel like dealing with, so the Trade Committee is being disbanded effective immediately.
 
This is not to say that all trades are automatically approved from here on out.  The Commissioners still reserve the right to disallow any trade which violates the rules, is collusive in nature, or is absurdly lopsided.  It is expected that very few (if any) trades should fall into those categories and therefore be disallowed.
 
By and large, the Committee did its job well over the years, and I thank those of you who have served.  However it is primarily the job of the Commissioners to do the "dirty work", and we do not want to cause bitterness between league members when we reach a point where "You disallowed (or complained about) my trade, therefore I'm voting against yours", nor was it my intent for each trade to be scrutinized in microscopic detail for even the slightest imbalance.
 
I'd rather see owners have the freedom to make whatever trades they choose to - within the rules.  Probably all of us have seen leagues ruined by "bogus" trades, and that is not going to be allowed to happen here, whether there is a Committee or not, so there's no need to worry on that account.
 
Alan
