I have cancelled my BCS membership after one year. My membership wasn't even marginally useful for me in any way, their magazine constantly reminds me that they have absolutely no idea what's really going on in technology and they keep spamming me with their stuff I don't care about.

Lawyers and doctors professional organizations are more like guilds. But the IMechE, the BCS et al actively work against the best interests of their individual members! The IMechE at least has the basic function of granting CEng to those that need it; there is no reason for anyone to be a BCS member at all.

Actually one of the magazines I got from the BCS (circa 2005) was saying how great outsourcing is. I wasn't so enthusiastic and didn't agree with the article.
