Bandplan annoyances

Do people who write band plans never actually operate? This morning I saw the latest RSGB band plans in Feb 2014 RadCom and almost tore up the magazine.

For example, and yet again, 10m AM which to my certain knowledge has occupied 29.0-29.1MHz  for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS is not even mentioned and 144.55MHz,which has been the 2m AM centre of activity for many years is mentioned begrudgingly just in a footnote as if AM  was disgusting! Yet we have a FAX calling frequency! Why is the RSGB so blatantly anti-AM?

Frankly I am appalled. Idiots.
