Dear all including J.S.,
I see a futile long chain of past messages titled "Euthanasia for distressed geckos" dragging and pingponged endlessly but actually lamenting the supposed demise of the GGA. I don't understand what exactly the complaints are about, nor why anybody dissatisfied does not propose (and maybe offer) specific improvements the moment the dissatisfaction attains threshold.
Actually the GGA just like other societies is a group sharing interests flocking together for joint benefit, around a small group of caring and able volunteers who serve the public by keeping the thing going. What the GGA does and does not do (e.g. meetings) derives largely from its global nature. Of course such volunteers can be defined as having self-interest - they derive satisfaction from serving a public cause. I see no justification for nor utility in just slinging mud at them, and that at a time when many feel a shortage of water.
This site could be more useful for comunication if people would title their messages correctly, and not encumber them with endless chains of message history.
Cheers, Yehudah
