I believe it was Groucho Marx who said he wouldn't want to join a club with the bad taste to accept him as a member, and I wish I could say the same about CAIK.
It seems I transgressed horrendously by quoting a few innocent (but funny) words from someone's post, flouting a major rule that says the contents of all posts must be treated as confidential. Doesn't matter that it was just a couple of words, used without attribution, apparently.
And then there's the fact that for the time being, Jen and I are not running an Inn, and would be in any case ineligible for CAIK unless we owned it (if it was the Caucus of American Inn Owners the acronym would be CAIO, which would be singularly appropriate in this context!).
Oh well. Groucho Marx was just putting on a brave face, and I guess I should do the same.
The irony is that I suspect the plug was pulled after a protest by a member who doesn't own an Inn. But I guess that's life. And politics.
Not a totally terrible day. B&BInnterchange now has the beginnings of a website all its own, along with a graphic identity:
