Should Bob Brunning be regarded as a member of Fleetwood Mac?

Yes Bob Brunning was a member of Fleetwood Mac, I don't think that point can really be argued, but should he be really be considered as such?

For my part I think that he should, for without Bob Brunning there might not be a Fleetwood Mac, perhaps Peter having failing to convince McVie to join and having failed to recruit a bass player (remember that Bob was the only one who replied to the Melody Maker ad), might have decided to give the whole idea away and finish his butcher's apprenticeship...
