There is some truth to this--but I would feel far more comfortable if they
would SAY that they are doing it to stop draining money, instead of
touting it as such a wonderful decision.  We all understand about having
to compromise sometimes due to financial drain--but that shouldn't mean
that we compromise our principles.  It bothers me to see the compromise
promoted in terms of what a wonderful thing it is, instead of telling the
truth that fighting it was breaking the organization and that it is
accepted with chagrin.
