Oh no John, no John, no !
But that you so believe accounts for the monstrously pompous diatribe recently uttered.
It is not so much an honour as the acceptance of RESPONSIBILITY !

Many folk continually whine (and I use that term deliberately) on the
mailing lists about why Quanta does not do something with its assets. One of

John Southern, QUANTA Secretary
A fine way to whinge at your electorate !

Even though I am an officer on the Quanta Committee, I too am leaning
towards "spending" some funds as distinct from "lending" the money. I see no purpose in hoarding our member's subscriptions

EVEN THOUGH I AM AN OFFICER ???
What ever next, will an officer be expected to do something constructive ?
I have had some close experience of small non-profit org' and it's committee.
Whilst I have not seen Q's articles I am sure that inactivity is not a fulfillment of duties. Even the bible has something to say about buried talents, meaning coinage not gifts.
It is no time to do nothing to avoid making a mistake !
Come Sunday take off your hats and kudos, don some thinking caps instead.
A not for Geoff, if it were up to me I'd back you all the way. Just two reservations, I personally don't think this is the place to hold spats between committee members.
And just a cautionary note, not all that is done without authority is ILLEGAL !
One can hope, can't one ! DT
