We need to be a bit more serious and cooperative
Reading through the recent thread on Erika (and others) I observed that a.) we need to be a bit more serious, and be.) we need to be a bit more cooperative.
As one of the providers noted of late, LE has stepped up efforts in recent weeks to go after hobbyists. We can bet that ladies will be targets as well. This is serious business that requires clarity in communication, not drama or attempts at wry humor.
It would be good to see fewer personal attacks and sparring. At the end of the day, scoring points here at another hobbyist's or provider's expense really is a waste of time. Most of us will never even meet, so flame wars make absolutely no sense.
You can bet that the other side is working together and pooling their resources. We need to start functioning more like a team as well.
