I wasn't trying to tell anyone how it should be done, and I wasn't making 
glib criticism of those who are doing it.

I was just trying to provide "food for thought".

If I knew that I could make a reliable and sustainable commitment, I would 
do so without hesitation. 

In most areas where PLUG needs capable people, I don't believe that I have 
the requisite skills to to perform the tasks required.

In other areas of commitment - I do not have the financial resources to do 
a lot of "running around" as I often rely on public transport as I am not 
always able to drive a car.

I have tried to provide input, albeit from a distance - it doesn't lessen 
my enthusiasm or my motivation to try.

For my own reasons - I cannot guarantee reliability and consistency.

I have no "expectations" of other people or PLUG, I only have hopes.

But at least I have had my say, and I said it at a time that I thought was 
appropriate.
