Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] custom question

I hope current world events do not haunt the PSUBS convention.  We are
an international group of people who all have a common interest in
submersibles.  We are not holding a summit to discuss world issues,
therefore the politics and differing opinions between our respective
government leaders on Iraq or any other UN issue should not impact our
ability to come together as friends and enjoy our pasttime.

New Hampshire has a large french population, and even the signs at
the southern end of the state that border Massachusetts have
"Bienvenue" on them.  I believe any visitor regardless of their
nationality will find that they are warmly welcomed in both New
Hampshire and the United States.

Security within the United States is significantly higher than what it
was prior to 9/11, however that should not impact bringing a submersible
to the convention.  Simply contact customs agents for details of what
will be required of you.  We have nothing to hide and building/using
your own submersible in the United States is not against the law.

The US military and US government regularly visit PSUBS, just check our
server logs for proof.  If there were any issues with what we are doing
we would have been shut down by now, believe me.

Everyone, regardless of nationality is welcome to attend the PSUBS
convention, and we hope you will.
