No, you would NOT be excused for calling me or any of my contemporaries a "psuedo listee". I fail to see any double standard, either, simply because the fight was between YOU and the Companies not ME and the Companies. Not only that, but I never said that it wasn't unfair that the 'Feds weren't re-employed. They should have been and I think that my contemporaries would largely agree. But for myself and the many, many others who joined during this period, it would have been utterly futile to not accept an offer. Because their mass re-employment was never, ever going to happen. The way I see it, AFAP picked a fight with the biggest bully at school, got its collective head punched in, then blamed the world for not jumping in and helping. Dont blame those on the side lines for your own mistake, sunshine. It is not a measure of a man by which I am impressed.
