Jerry: Please don't leave, and please remember that the great majority of those who are members of this list do read it (almost) daily, but don't reply to the messages -- for various reasons. That doesn't mean they don't care, don't have opinions, and aren't active in their local PD groups. Most of us have sent tons of letters, and phone calls ... to our legislators, newspapers, etc., regarding PD issues. Just because a few members feel one way doesn't mean all of us do. I think you'll find most of us feel the same way you feel......at least, I do. The list needs people like you to make it stronger. OK? Rethink, please!
