Jack.

The European project illustrates exactly my point. We (SD) should be
represented on this project.  But we - SD - were not even thought of, nor
consulted.  Why not?  And who are "we"?

If anybody here is really interested in developing the field of SD, then the
sooner we ditch the SDS and replace it with a professional body, the better.

I, (and from multiple correspondence, also many, many others) have had it
with the SPS.  The SPS does not represent our interests - far from it.  And,
by the way, I have hacked SD on the front line (and still do), so I am happy
to go my own way.  I do it for a living and I'm pretty good at it.  I do not
need the SDS.

So SDS - can you afford to lose people like us?  I regret I shall not be in
Athens - but I'm sure you will all have a great discussion.
