I totally agree.
There appears to be a lot of criticism about GSR, much of it
destructive instead of constructive. The people doing the whining that
GSR is not running things to their liking have a choice...if they
don't like it, then don't travel on it. 
Companies run businesses to make money, and they have a right to
decide just how their business will be run. 
If someone has any criticism to make, let it be constructive and make
sure that they have viable alternatives to put forward,bearing in
mind that it is not their money they are spending but someone else's.
As Maurie suggests, when  GSR pull out, anyone who can do it better,
come forward with your money and show everyone how it should be done. 
You are dead right Maurie, there won't be many takers.

Gezza
