Anthony,
The troubling thing about this is - if you wanted to just cancel your
membership, emailing Joe or posting to the SciBrick webserv would probably have
been the best route. However, you've laid some fairly offensive accusations
(elitist, stifling, and anal retentive) on a public website that prospective
SciBrick members will be reading. To say that is to invite discussion and
controversy.
