Pitch Raising ASSOCIATES

 Joe, 
        Respectfully you are out of line with this comment,  I'm an
associate by choice,  and can't be accused of taking and not giving a lot
in return.   
Associates of all types have a lot to give, even when they are newbies,
they have their enthusiasm to offer. Or pushing mentors to rethink what and
why they do various tasks. This is of value, and is healthy.
The quality of the Journal would dramatically drop with out their dues. So
think of their valuable financial support.
 You do the PTG a disservice by putting down any one that is associated
with the organization.
 There are a fair number of associates on this list that give a lot of
their time helping RPT's  sort out their screw ups.

Sorry for the rant, but enough is enough.

Regards Roger
