Not xenophobia. Simple economic self interest, IMHO. It is bizarre to subsidize those who are taking work away from the vast majority of the membership through...

That's nice and all. How about proactive help rather than reactive. (No swats at Char nor Cindie who are nice folks with the right intentions.) Cheers, Sean ...
Local versus global is a tricky discussion, eh? I worked for one employer who really, really used H1B visas. They claimed there were no domestic engineers to...
To us outside the USA, tiered dues seem reasonable not just in consideration of how much less money we make, but also in consideration of how much less we get...

The buses in the morning rush hour are very, very crowded and sometimes altercations break out between passengers. I always remark that there's no point in...
And again - it isn't STC's job to look at the local economy and decide if the people there deserve a break or not. The issue, I believe, should be simple -...

Hi . . . Is there any news on total STC membership after the renewal cutoff? Just curious as to how things turned out. Also, how is STC progressing in...
From what I've seen, renewal is running roughly from 65% to 90%, depending on chapter categories. However, they have not posted the final numbers yet as they...

The problem with "sending an email" to someone is that you lose the back 'n forth sharing of ideas. If I send an email to STC, how do I know that it was...

Thanks for the rejoinder, Bill. As I noted in my post, the Ning forum is being actively followed. The one correction I'd make is that I clearly recall a...
