Is your statement the end of the matter tammymc? There is hiatus in your posting that must necessarily be filled with answers to the many questions raised in the threads relating to this matter. Perhaps you could start an open debate, in a new thread, on how the membership could be involved in a more meaningful way with the polling for competitions, contests etc. There are only so many doors that can be closed to the membership before everyone is completely shut out of the community. With respect. Brendan.
