Fair enough, Tedham. Thank you. That does change my mind. I do think the boycott is the ethically right thing to do and to support. If the org. can handle losing the money on the contract AND its members will stand up for it and support it in THAT action, then I say more power to the members who follow their conscious and do not attend.

Question, though? Have you let them know why you will not be attending? Is there a grassroots movement among memebrs to do so and really get behind such an effort? seems to me that would be the way to get them to change their minds.

All the best,
