Congratulations on your courage to stand up for others Alan. There are many individuals out there, it seems, that want to do nothing but cut down those who try to make a difference for the better. I hope your efforts to form a foreign teachers association/union will continue to be successful. I'm part of small group in Daegu that are beginning to take a pro-active approach to this idea. We'd be happy to co-ordinate future efforts with your group. If you (or anyone else reading this for that matter) are interested, then please feel free to email me.
