If TAC had been doing them for many years and then we suddenly
popped up and started doing them using the same name, riding
on TAC's coattails, I would agree with you and Mark 100%.
However, I understand the SJAA was involved right from start.
So this argument falls rather flat.

Let's put some hard numbers on it...

How many CalStar star parties have there been?
How many has the SJAA been directly involved in?
