Please NO; from the smallest person to the most influential--it will only leave you alone with what you believe are your principles. Don't quit The List! I agree, but have another take on things. If you want to quit something, do it. Don't go public with your problems, you are just saying, "this is a great way to communicate so I am announcing what I think about it" and now I won't use it. I congratulate all champions, and try to comfort everyone who loses a dog or friend, but I do it in private. There is no need for me to say, "look at what a wonderful person I am" and I feel the same way about leaving an organization. When I leave, (or die) I will just do it, and no one will hear from me. Someone might say, "what happened to Evan" and if so, thanks for thinking of me. I loved to read what Fred thought. I enjoyed Patty snipping at me. I loved Frank and his blasts at all of us. But, when they become dissatisfied with the system, it is time to find another activity. I am one of Fred's biggest fans, but I respect his opinion, even if it means to leave the List. And, if GM does go on strike, they will probably call him back. Now that he is toughened with this GSDCA election, think what he could do with the Auto Workers?
