   You've been predicting the demise of the RSGB for years.   
      
   It will see you out.   
      
      
   I don't like the way the RSGB is run but, rather than rant about it, I   
   let them live in their own little world (rather like you, they try to   
   throw they weight around and I ignore them).  If something crops up that   
   bothers me, I'll do something about it.  Meanwhile, I'll run things like   
   RSGBTech which is far more productive than all your ranting.   
      
      
   (Jan & Feb were remarkably good months BTW, odd you didn't mention that   
   in your report. Mar is off to a good start.)

   are depriving those in real need!
