However;-)

Particularly since the AA website has shunted the long form Traditions from
contemporary to archival pertinence, http://tinyurl.com/ranyf an amusing
aspect of AA's "Traditions" is the dishonesty that generally gurgles to the
surface on mention of recovered alcoholics being precluded from A.A.
membership by that same Tradition Three.

Perhaps a presentation questioning oldtimers honesty rather than newcomers
sincerity may be a bit more exciting.
