Mmmm, I suspect you consider your self part of the most reasonable people? heh. okay. One thing I've noticed is you tend to resort to name calling without provocation, and start chest thumping "the right thing" is akin to what one would see in an evangelical extremist. Fine. Goody for you. And what does it change? Me? No. Others? I doubt it. I do not kneel at the altar of NVS management, few do.
So to what end is it you hope to achieve by belittling others? Getting on this board and shaking your fist and declaring "it's all wrong" somehow makes you feel better? Or do you think somehow by virtue of reading what you write you'll change the behavior that you disagree, bemoan, wail at and then start calling others names?
To my end, which I proffer to you - although you didn't ask - is this. I am neither contemptuous, bitter, nor angry. Neither am I bragging or proud (well maybe proud) - I discuss this because I know I am not the only one - that there are others...many, many many others. They don't look to me to elucidate what is going on, but to affirm they are not different. They come here to express here what they can not at meetings. They come here to blow off steam, ask questions - and some like you - just come here to start shit.
