6FU. I have watched the videos of 'focus nights', I have many friends and colleagues in the AOA, I do give great thought and consideration to reasoned responses and ideas from members of the AOA. I am trying to be part of the solution. You see I think there are many, sorry I know there are many members of the AOA who also want to be part of the solution and are urging moderation but they are gagged and intimidated from within the AOA. You know the rhetoric - united front, evils of management, support your colleagues (49ers) etc etc - so don't voice any opinion contrary to the party line. I would like, even occasionally, a post which is in itself innocent enough but might contain, God forbid, an ostensibly moderate or even pro-company stance to also be given reasoned consideration and not villified and the writer pilloried. I particularly liked HFX's response to that polite reference to anuses and opinions earlier in this thread. I am glad that you found my axiom amusing. How about this one.
