     [I'm sorry you resent it.  I'm not going to address your resentment, 
     though, because I already stated what I believe to be the case.  I 
     will say this, though:  you've managed to present an interesting 
     dichotomy.  If your group's members are less vocal about their 
     accomplishments, doesn't that *by definition* make them less visible?  
     This is clearly at odds with your above statement about them being no 
     less visible.]

     [No problem; I lived in Crannog Mor from 1988-1992.  If the situation 
     that existed back then no longer exists in any shire, which is what 
     you seem to imply, then why did this thread expose any concern from 
     anyone?  Did you see the various messages from people who live in 
     shires and emphatically agreed with the concept of lack of 
     representation?]
