Nah mate; they’d spin it back as tokens of appreciation, gifted in response to their fine efforts on industry behalf; or that they had provided the eggs to allow industry full expression and they had gained much from the exercise, which, sometime into the future they would use, much to our benefit….

On a different note, I see the UP has a thread running on the ‘Free Lunch Fiasco’. There are those who believe we can trust and engage with the same crew that Forsyth castigated as untrustworthy; and, those who don’t. Calls for engagement and calls for boycott; the usual merry-go-round. The only really bad thing on there is the Mach E Avelli #1500 post.
That being the ‘last’ from him is a sad thing; I always enjoyed reading his offerings, in fact I would have skipped reading that thread has his not been the last post made. Wish him well fellahs, the UP crew will feel the loss. Thanks for the laughs and logic Mach.
Cheers.

Quote:Arm is right. We should not boycott these events, which are well intentioned and often conducted by mere underlings following their Team Leader's direction.
Instead, attend, take a leaf from the politicians and press the flesh, and rather than deride or heckle, engage in conversation to put your point of view across firmly but respectfully. What harm is there in this, as opposed to reinforcing the belief that we are all criminals who just have not been caught yet?
There are other more appropriate avenues for airing grievances. Complete the survey on line. Don't just whinge about how bad CASA is (we know, and by now they know that we know they are bad) but have the cojones to put your name to it and agree to be contacted for further input.
And that friends is 1500 posts. My new year's resolution was to quit posting at this number, so you can poke the bear all you like - there will be no more. Thank Christ for that I hear
