On a somewhat smaller scale, I get you. While I didn't set any goals for myself or joined MMM, I was trying to get more members to various physics clubs that I'm in. I've spent three weeks researching stuff for my presentation, badgered people to consider joining it, arranged two guest lectures and in the end we lost three people the moment they graduated and this isn't even a student-only club. This week I gave my presentation in front of eight people. That's not even half of that club! Truly depressing sight, standing at the centre of auditorium designed to hold about three hundred people and realising that it didn't manage to fill even first row. Feel free to rant away. I don't know about quitting, but if you think that getting away from it for at least a while would help: do it.I've put in over 600 hours in the astronomy club this year. (…) For all that effort we got a whopping TWENTY new members.
