You must have a remarkable memory, Christopher, given that I resigned as a member of UK-TuG in 2006 — perhaps you could remind me, as your memory is clearly far better than mine, in what way I "brought much disagreement, and saw no point in lifting a finger with regard to the UK TeX User Group".

May I remind you of the rant of how you called us amateurs simply because our work is not done within the 
framework of some well known corporation.  It would have been very easy for those reading, to read those
sentences as implying that we are inexperienced or unskilled in a our activities.  Totally untrue.  

Although it is not something that cannot be fixed among ourselves.  Would you agree?
