Agreed!

Some suggestions of mine:

1) How to attract large numbers of new general+ licensees.
2) How to set examples of civil conversation, debate, and exchange.
3) Discussion of other amateur policy which can be adjusted to promoted
increased and improved exchanges.
4) Attempting to encourage arrl into reformation so they do represent all
amateurs and gain additional membership.
5) etc.

Well number 4 is doomed to failure as not all amateurs will join no matter
what the enticements are so it is impossible for them to represent all the
amateurs. Plus they don't even have 100% agreement on issues among the
existing membership so if they try to represent all their members, they are
in an impossible position and will end up doing nothing.
