And this does NOT MEAN contact them and tell them that they are
not doing what YOU think Amateur Satellites SHOULD do.  Its
Paul's rule.  Don't criticise in the slightest.  Just provide
help, info, resources, tools or leadership in the direction that
might be where you'd like to see them end up. (if you're lucky).
