My understanding when SOW started was it was a specific response to the 
government cuts. It now sounds increasingly like it wants to be a rival 
to IWA. Replace the letters "SOW" with "IWA" in the above... Should we 
really be trying to splinter off in multiple directions at such an 
important time? Will, I admire your enthusiasm for the fight but I can't 
help thinking that the growth you are looking for in SOW will actually 
harm not help the single big cause we are all fighting for.
