PTG is a club. It's members- those who have rights to influence ongoing
ecisions, pay hefty dues to be part of the club. They have ongoing
iscussions and squabbles about the rules of the club. But it's their club.
hey built up this club with years of hard work and dedication in order to
id each other with their desire to be more capable technicians. 
Those who are not members of the PTG, yet use the PTG list are guests, and
t is expected that guests would behave as such. They have no rights, only
rivileges.  If they want rights, then they should join the club.
If they want to squabble about the rules, then they should pay the "higher
ues" and become RPT's.  That's how the club was set up, and it is the
embers, not the guests, who only have reason to be discussing the everyday
rritations of the group. "Right" is what has been decided over the years by
he RPT's.  It simply is the way it is. If guests continually demand
rights", it seems it would be a simple thing to block anyone who has not
aid to be a member, and it would seem quite reasonable to do so, as
nowledge shared here is free to all, including those who compete with us
hile complaining, costing us business by building their knowledge base at
he expense of the PTG.

 did my share of being an idiot for a year or so, as a guest.........  The
ock isn't going to bend, so one either understands and follows the rules,
r they will eventually be shunned from sheer irritation of those who have
earned the rules......
