I have never implied that. I do request that people speak up for what
they think.

And guess what? I've tried being polite and patient, and I have found I
get more response from people when they feel threatened or otherwise
'wronged'. The are compelled to defend themselves, instead of taking
their own initiative, which nobody wants to do. Until people start
saying what they think, I will continue to challenge them.

You just said it yourself Andy. Eu is good, but it could be better. But
you can't be bothered to express HOW you think it could be better?
Further, you would continue to give Rob your money, eventhough he
entirely ignores perfectly legitamate proposals that would benefit all
of us?

Nobody said you should be as adamant as me, but voicing your opinion of
what Rob is doing is a good start. The impression I get is that you
simply can't be bothered.
