and you would see for yourself not their problem that it is mostly regular members that keep turning up.
Certainly true.
Of course the Catch-22 with any group (so no blame attached before you get hissy!) is when the same people turn up, it makes it seem like a closed shop... but then it's only a closed shop because it's only the same people that turn up!
FWIW I've been to a couple of meetings (kept myself hidden for a couple
) and not been eaten alive. FWIW I'd also be pretty sure that anybody who turned up with whatever view they wanted to give would get a fair hearing. Kind of glad the resolution was parked last time though, saved me having to argue in person
Few like speaking up in a room of strangers after all.
And whichever way it gets led, of course, always dangerous if just a small number of people turn up. Imagine half a dozen RFCs wielding power...
