We're bothering about quorum because it's too large, which means the
people who *do* want to see things happen in the club (notably having
useful motions passed at AGMs), don't.
While I accept your criticism as valid (infuriating as it may be
coming from someone who does not appear to have ever been to a HUMBUG
AGM), it's awfully hard to take what you say on board when you're not
really focusing on the issue at hand.
The only way to make for change within the club is to have the quorum
reduced so the Great Silent Majority can remain silent without
impeding those of us who want to see things happen.
