Dear all including J.S.,
I see a futile long chain of past messages titled "Euthanasia for
distressed geckos" dragging and pingponged endlessly but actually lamenting the
supposed demise of the GGA. I don't understand what exactly the complaints are
about, nor why anybody dissatisfied does not propose (and maybe offer) specific
improvements the moment the dissatisfaction attains threshold.
Actually the GGA just like other societies is a group sharing interests
flocking together for joint benefit, around a small group of caring and able
volunteers who serve the public by keeping the thing going. What the GGA does
and does not do (e.g. meetings) derives largely from its global nature. Of
course such volunteers can be defined as having self-interest - they derive
satisfaction from serving a public cause. I see no justification for nor
utility in just slinging mud at them, and that at a time when many feel a
shortage of water.
This site could be more useful for comunication if people would title
their messages correctly, and not encumber them with endless chains of message
history.
Cheers, Yehudah
