Hello John

It appears you are prepared to put some time into sorting out AFFS. I certainly 
appreciate that. More so that you are prepared to do so diligently.

I count myself amongst the many members/ lapsed members who think "AFFS, that's 
a good idea, let's become a member / give it some money" then leave it to 
someone else to sort out. I feel pretty much everyone has done the same thing. 
As a bunch, we're probably more interested in computing and free software than 
being actively involved in running an organisation. Of course, sitting on a 
stand at an expo, talking to like-minded people all day is quite fun..!

I expect this goes some way to explaining the cavalier attitude you perceive, 
and the shape of the AFFS today.

Kindly


Nick.
