I am not embarrassed by the state or PAB, nor am I saying I dont want people
to see us as we are.

I am saying that making this known by way of publishing our correspondence
is not going to change how we are, or encourage others to participate.

So for theses reasons, why bother doing it?

For me its more like advertising a party without any food and drinks. Who's
going to come along.

I would agree here. But I dont see advertising how we look today as a
first step in this direction.
