Thank hosty for the kind words [:I]
I did get a bit worked up there (yesterday)... but as mentioned, the whole thing is borne of frustration (and a bit of hope).
Just one thought this morning. I was wondering... when was the last time when a [u]non</u>-IfA member was invited to talk/discuss with the IfA comittee regarding IfA membership, structure and operation? Was there ever a time? Has or does the IfA take on board the views of non-members (the good majority of archaeologists?)
Perhaps if they actually talked to non-members about just why they haven't joined (or won't join), the IfA would be better informed. It's no good preaching to the already converted.
