I have been advocating for years that we should attempt to get rid of the
zones. And that is not really my idea. You predecessor the late Ron Dwight
already advanced the idea.

We never needed zones in the first place, the technical implementation is
shakey at best and they amplify the cultural differences - which are there,
denial is useless- rather than bring us together.

Roy isn't the worst. He at least does not put up a false appearance.
