Oh good.  It's important that it's been brought to *your* attention.  Was
this brought to *your* attention by one of *your* people?  Strikes me as
representative of your previous self-indulgent, self-righteous missives that
I've so far been able to resist replying to.

But now you've gone plenty far enough because you're putting my hobby at
risk.  I do not wish to be in the firing line of the Big Boys.

You are quite obviously not media-savvy and would do well to refuse
interviews.  Perhaps appoint a capable Media Representative?  Even better,
wiki up your press releases and use a consensus approach.

Forgetting the interactions with those insignificant wireless people over in
WA?  Perhaps you can't remember the vigorous debates?

Putting aside any philosophical issues - such as this obnoxious formal
organisation and idiotic claims to represent all Australian wireless users,
do you really, really think it's wise to allow yourself to be manipulated in
this way?

If you can't resist the temptation of being a Glory Boy, at least ask for
vetting rights on the article/story.

I don't claim to represent Western Australian users.  Only myself.  Please
stop claiming to represent me.
