Kevin That is the fundamental issue - I'm afarid that there is no such thing as a "BAJR-ite" - don't count me into some collective sentiment that there is a common agenda here.
I would describe myself as undeterred VoR.... and as an inclusivist, I am happy for you to come along for the ride. I mean your opinions are at least reflected on BAJR. One of the points that many people have been making in the past few weeks is how disenfranchised they feel from other official bodies in UK archaeology at this difficult time.
In fact it is at this difficult time BAJR has already proved that it is something unique in our profession. I haven't seen a single comment posted on Britarch, on the IFA website or on Prospect's site regarding the current problems in our profession. If BAJR achieves nothing else, at least it there for archaeologists to contact, to air and discuss their problems, get updates on how the recession is affecting the wider industry, hopefully feel that there is a small community of archaeologists who sympathise with their predicament. Basically the idea that there might be some mates out there.....
So go on VoR. Admit that you are a little bit proud to be involved with your fellow sufferers......if not totally convinced of our ambition}
