Although I am a member of the SOC I totally agree with you Wilfried. I am also a member of the German forum you mentioned and this has been very valuable for me several times, just like the SOC board has.
We live in the information age and an open forum is just part of this! A closed membership serves no purpose in my opinion.
It will be a shame to see you and all other active non SOC members go!
Cheers,
Erik
