Good points, but I think all in all it will go without much problems I think
we all will get
accustomed in time to the change when it happens. I'm for it,...shocking
isn't it, I can actually
agree with the change. (look out for the smartass remark...Oh too late!)  So
much for sounding
like EULA. Sorry to disappoint anyone. hehehe:)
I would like to see us all know any and all of the ifs ands or buts before
we make the change.
As far as being loudmouths.....Well I don't think we're loudmouths.
You and I and anyone else who has an invested interest in this has a
justifiable reason for concern.
We invest our lives, money and so forth into our
profession/hobby.....whatever!
This organization is a major player in (at least this is how I see it) our
education and ability to
network in our field. So why wouldn't we be concerned with its existence.
Nuff said:)
By the way....what the heck is this acronym (AFAIK)
