Stephen, As a founder member you should know the importance of the first three letters I C T and as a practitioner the difference between that and IT. I don't see you sitting down with a bunch of PR experts, journalists, radio "personalities" as well as people in tv trying to troubleshoot a router. Do you see yourself doing this? There is IT "navel gazers" (valuable contributors) and IT "practitioners". Peter wants the latter and not the former. Okay? :-)
