Obviously I didn't make myself clear. Actually I care about this more than ever, and have been agitating among some of my fellow producers about doing something. (An awful lot of them are just shrugging, in a gesture of hopelessness.) The "why bother?" came from near-despair, not smugness. Maybe I'm overly affected by the mess that is WBAI, but getting involved with Pacifica governance seems like exposing yourself to massive amounts of flying shrapnel with only a very remote chance of success. Describing it as an uphill battle feels like an understatement.
