Ron,

Altough I understand where you coming from, that does not invalidate 
Bill's survey.  He has the right to gather opinions unilaterally so 
that he can check his assumptions on what the satellite community 
wants.  My Senators and Congressman send out questionaires all the 
time and that is not approved by the whole Senate or Cogress.

I agree that Amsat would be served well to make periodic surveys to 
determine the directions the membership and general satellite community wish.

Bill, I hope that you will share the results with the -bb, but you 
are not required to.
