Some BASSA members seems to be taking your advice. On 1st April the Bassa membership stood at 10,450. Today, two weeks later it is 10,413! I have been watching his figure over the last few months, I only wish I had taken note of the actual figure on 1st November last, (I think it was around 10,800 but can't be sure). A loss of 37 in two weeks, is consistent with that sort of figure. This would equate to about £150,000 in lost subscriptions in a year, something like 8% of the total. Perhaps BASSA now understand lost revenue. BA have been trying to tell them about the consequences of this sort of thing for the last twelve months.
