Well, for a variety of reasons...

• What if you have a disagreement with your Clerk, without access you won't be able to get help and support!
• You may have specific interests of your own, why would you want to make the Clerk do your work?
• The Clerk is not your personal assistant - they cannot read for you,
• It is not the Clerks' responsibility to keep you up to date, that responsibility is yours and yours alone,
• The Clerk cannot access the members forum on your behalf - your views and opinions are personal to you,
• The Help Desk is totally private and personal it is for ALL to use, if you have a question you should ask it,
• The Clerk cannot complete Polls and Surveys on your behalf, it is YOUR opinions that are being sought.
