I don't know what you mean by that. I'm part of this now and if you think I'm going to lay back and let these people who are working very hard for nothing, to change ecca and to try to do something good for the community, get abused for no reason. Think again.


If you have something reasonable to complain about then fair enough, I don't see any complaint above.

Btw if I think something is wrong, I will tell you.

i can't speak for Sooetie with any definitive reply, but i can outline one probable important point ... an ECCA request entitled "we need photos of your mods" which has been in existance since September 14, 2011.

as that long running well furnished thread has significant history, it might perhaps appear that ECCA are retreading their exact same formerly lame steps. where content is remarkable, it so marks wider interest. yet, while ECCA reinvite the same or extremely similar appeal, it does raise due question as to why existing content is less than enough.

I don't know and I didn't know that thread existed, please bear in mind that AFAIK everyone (or almost everyone) at ecca is new, the website is being rebuilt totally new and we/they are talking about the direction this new ecca should take and exactly what ecca should do.

So everything in the past, is in the past, as far as I am concerned.

We were talking the other night and it was put forward that asking for general help might not be enough, actually asking for specific help might be the way forward. Hence the requests for help for photos and to create the PDF for a leaflet.

And the wonderful folks at AAEC have already come forward to help. This forum always makes me proud in some way.

For me the problem is more that this is just fiddling while Rome burns. The important thing now is to stop the EU (or our own medical establishment) from taking usable e-cigs off the market.

Your stance has been noted and I will be putting it forward at the next meeting in 2 weeks.

I quite agree with you, I'm just not exactly sure how much ecca can do at this stage. I know Lorian (UKV rep) will be meeting her MP soon and we discussed that she will go in as a ecca committee member, as well as a concerned member of the public.
She was after any help anyone can give her, to get her ready for the meeting, so this may be up your street giles.

Did the AGM rerun ever happen?
Have ECCA written to any politicians?
What are we expecting from the MRHA/Nice report?

The AGM rerun never happened, its something again that is under discussion, I will raised it at the next meeting.

Ecca have only written to them off our own backs not as ecca members, I have written to all of mine and had discussions with 2.
Ecca want to have the new website up and running before we contact anyone in authority. We want to look good and be taken seriously.

I don't think we know what to expect from the MHRA report, but I am informed we hope is a light touch regulation.

Happy to help. I tried sending her a pm, but Lorian isn't a member name at UKV - do you know what she calls herself there?

i'm not sure if some confusion has arisen, but assuming the pdf requires photos, and where photos have been continuinely provided since an ECCA request of September 2011, with the latest as recently as May 26 2013, i did wonder if those helpful resourses might be used as intended unto ECCAs requirements, by those readily offering in their efforts to aid ECCA.

i do realise that a majority of the ECCA atendees make-up might indeed be new in their posts, but while there is ongoing support from those consumers long trying to offer help, i feel it might be nice to recognise their continuing efforts. it might also afford additional freeing up of time and resourses which ECCA generally tend to say they are short upon.

You're absolutely right, so we can agree that at last we can say goodbye to the old images, we can try to get a grip on a new age.
Anyone who can help with the new ecca, please post.
