Well said gorilla. Lets face it, rarely are the various opinions on this forum in agreement but it does allow for a range of informed and (usually) coherent views to be aired, considered and then used to lobby with under the BAJR banner. That this is so is entirely down to the work of the Host and his assistants. I don;t think the voice of BAJR needs to be tied down by any further changes of practice (ie. Unions etc), that is already one of the problems of many of the organisations that people complain are ineffective. BAJR is and i'm sure will remain dynamic, but at the moment its open forum and voice are a great demonstration of its success. And to back gorilla, I know several people within the IFA who not only make a point of reading BAJR when they have a moment but actively monitor what is said.
