Would you join? Lead the= way?  Don't despair for we are still one (PTG) and help is on th= e way.

The members of this group, called "FRIENDS OF THE PTG," could have some of the benefits, like the Journal and registration to conventions, but not the advertising or voting rights of PTG= members. The Task Force makes mention of this concept, which I've been advocating for years. That would be a lot easier. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
