Hi George.  My intention was not to ask the USSF to become the NASF.  I was
under
the impression that it was for US players only until I saw the wording per
the
above email "...United States AND North America..." so I thought membership
requirements may have changed so I thought to clarify.  Thats all.

A CSF sounds like a good idea but if there really aren't enough of us up here
to make one I wouldn't use the word "arrogant" to describe asking the USF
about Canadian membership. No harm in asking and it's no big deal if they
say no.
It's their club after all.  :)

Regards,
Rob.
