That was me... 


My comment above comes from experience with other professional guilds and

occurs where members will pay their dues and then use the fact that they

are a member to create an image for themself which isn't necessarily true

because the *public* sometimes don't understand what a guild is about but

rather will assume it's some measure of ability / qualification to do the job.

This is more to the point - a guild could provide a useful place for

exhange of ideas, information etc - but then we already have this in this

list ??
