The whole point of a honeymoon period is to lull people into complacency before the knives come out, and they gut everything to shreds. There may very well be a new programme on the horizon, but LT SPG members will be at the bottom of the pecking order. From what I understand, there aren't nearly as many LT SPG members, so who knows for certain. Regardless, the language indicates we will be defenestrated.
I fully appreciate your perspective. But I hope you're wrong!
(As i'm sure you do!)
Nonetheless, time will tell... I'm carrying on business as usual, as I have done since this all broke anyway... I'll find my way in this brave new world and make the best of it.
