Twist? A large part of your post was quoting:


The quotes (of the FCC officials) were selected to point out what the
regulators seem to be expecting of us.


I'll assume that you believe what you posted? (correct me if I'm
wrong)


Yes, I believe that is what those regulators said.


I would hope you would set a good example by taking the lead.


I did take the lead, by trying to point out what seems to be the
prevailing regulatory attitude towards us. I further took the lead by
pointing out that I feel the ARRL ought to shift some of the 'political'
spending into programs which sponsor and nuture an attitude of tinkering
and experimenting among amateurs.

Of the 120,000 ARRL members how many do you suppose have any interest
at all in tinkering vs. the number who depend on the League to defend
our spectrum spaces? How many NRA members do you suppose would support
a shift in NRA funds from their PACs into more tinkering with loads?
