As a science fiction fan, it disturbs me that SFWA representatives take such a hostile position towards educators and fans. Here's hoping that the organization stops harassing their biggest advocates and starts helping it's members cope with "new" technologies in a positive way.

Very, very nice and long overdue. Congratulations!
