"Dee D. Flint" wrote in message igy.com... "Brian" wrote in message om... Dee got on early supporting the status quo; hook,line and sinker. She is a perfect mouth-piece for the ARRL, and I've heard her repeating, word for word, the policies of this organization. She is, more or less, an official ARRL spam-bot. Wonder if she is an official bulletin station? Not hardly. I disapprove of some of the policies but I do not expect it to change when my view doesn't represent the majority view. I do not consider differences of opinion on some policies to be reason to stop supporting them. Also I merely state that non-members shouldn't think they can change the policies. The ARRL policies, as with any organization, will reflect the opinions of the majority of members. Someone with a minority opinion in any organization will have to work very hard to get the majority to adopt it. Organizations have no obligation to reflect the opinion of non-members. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE Oh, BS, Dee. You just got through saying that if you don't belong, if you don't rise to the top of the food chain, blah blah, horse crap, blah blah. You've become a particularly rude little electrolyte of late, Brian. You can't expect to change those things which you happen to dislike about the ARRL from outside it. If you are on the inside, your task is to convince others to adopt your point of view. I've been a member of the League for most of my forty years as a ham and a life member for nearly thirty of those years. The League takes some positions and actions of which I approve. It also takes positions and actions of which I disapprove. If one of those seems important enough to me, I make noise to HQ, to my Director and to other members. Sometimes enough members make enough noise to change an ARRL position. Sometimes they don't. The ARRL wants to be the -ONE- voice for the ARS. The ARRL is the biggest and most influential voice within the Amateur Radio Service. There is clout in numbers. If you've not yet figured this out, it is time that you learned it. I suggest that they start with forward thinking leadership representing all, not just their CW-centric membership. Or get out of the way. Get out of whose way--yours? I don't see you as any kind of progressive steamroller with any followers at all. Who are you leading? Dave K8MN |
