Maybe we should all need to take a rest and don't go in the wrong direction, accusing the ILOC of things it has never done. I reckon myself that I'm still wondering about the rules and constitution of this club, in other terms the ability of making things very complicated when everything could be very simple, I admit that this is something very surprising sometimes and hard to understand for a latin cultural person like me. On the other hand, there are great people working for the club and the simple fact that they are working hard and that they are nice guys means that some respect is due.
I'm myself a member of the ILOC and I'm living overseas, I don't have much more than 2 or 3 magazines a year (not always, someone might love reading about Laverdas somewhere between UK and the Caribbean) but I don't care as my idea is simply that my fee to this club (and other foreign clubs of which I'm also a member) could be my contribution to help those who work hard for our passion.
I understand also Rob, his place is not very comfortable between the 2 hard tasks he is doing for both the club and this forum. And of course, without him, this new forum wouldn't be what it really is, a very nice place where it is just so easy to click on the search button to find any sort of information (just remember how it was difficult to only find a single advice some years ago!).
At least, I agree with Rob, everyone who doesn't like how the ILOC is managed has the possibility to invest himself in the club and help to change the rules and the methods. Much better probably than this discussion on this forum.
