So, if that is the case, did they say anything about why we don't see a response from them? They can get a membership in the forum just as easy as anyone else can. It would be nice to see how they would defend some of their actions and wasteful spending practices. You would think that, with:

• funds in the treasury declining
• membership applications received declining

the powers that be would be looking at ways to tighten the purse strings rather than just keep spending
