<div>Dear Mark, I think our PTG President just got done talking about ethics and not making statements that are absent data/facts. If you want to complain about those who do not pay dues, then name them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But according to my.ptg.org, if you search on Paul Williams, he is in fact a dues paying PTG member and RPT.</div>
<div>I also am a dues paying PTG member, and the St Louis chapter newsletter editor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since you did not mention "who" was not paying in your email, you threw anyone voicing dissatisfaction w/ any issues all into the same category, which shows your general statement is false.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>"Just the facts, ma'am"... </div>
<div>Bill Fritz</div>

<div>No, and that's the point. Anyone who cares to sign up for a list can avail themself of the resources embodied in the lists, but in my mind, that generosity of PTG doesn't entitle them to unlimited griping rights. <br>

<div>Two separate issues. I actually don't know the dynamics of who decides and how. I'm just sick of schoolyard taunts from the self-disenfranchised peanut gallery. <br>
