I appreciate the wisdom of not feeding something you don't want to encourage. I would hope that from this discussion he might realize there is a benefit to membership that goes beyond petty arguments over malleable objects like test standards or software protocols, and will see something worth aspiring to. If not, we are under no obligation, as far as I know, to continue hosting his posts. -- Mark Schecter On Oct 25, 2011, at 10:59 AM, Terry Beckingham <t46xd8jb at xplornet.com> wrote: > Why don't we all ignore him?

If you want a voice, join. If you don't want to join, don't expect to have a say in decisions. And remember, this is not a public forum, it is privately hosted by an organization that people PAY to belong to, and work to support. Even the harshest critics of this or that problem CONTRIBUTE time and effort to this organization, and many person-years have gone into evolving it to its present state. So your sneering dismissal of its membership categories, or its software issues, or frankly anything, are NOT appreciated and not welcome. In my view, you simply have no right to complain. >> >> Please try to make positive contributions and leave the gadfly attitude behind. >> >> I speak for myself, but I know there are plenty of others who agree. >> >> -- Mark Schecter >> > >
