Joe and all,
In many ways I think that Joe here is right. As I suggested when
the IDNO first was conceived I recommended in part that growing in
number of members should be a top priority. It seems that that
recommendation was not shared amongst it's "Founders".
What has been predominant is the "I WANT A BIGGER COOKIE"
syndrome and the direct democratic vs representative democratic
structure of the IDNO. Most of this brought on by William Walsh
and some of his errant followers. This has been very detrimental
to the cause of the IDNO and that is a shame indeed.
