>>>I would suggest that out of those who know about slabfree being active, you are in the minority after all.

You can suggest anything you want. The facts speak otherwise. Less than 20% of the active membership is signed on to "the pledge".

I would hope that some of the new members would go back and re-read that to which they have attached their names and ask themselves if they -really- agree with everything it says (and doesn't say).
