Re: [ga] I'm very happy with the progress on the GA

[jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Joe and all,

  I wish I could share fully in your enthusiasm.  Alas
I cannot because there has been a flip-flop process in
regards to Mr. Dierkers asking for amendments prior to the
vote, and than reversing himself after the vote which in and 
of itself wasn't either a quorum or ligitimately conducted.  
I am happy to read your remarks below as to finnaly being 
another reasonable voice in the GA being self funded, something
which should have been done over 4 years ago now and something
Mr. Dierker and others have refused to "pony up" to unfortunately.

  My offer from 4 years ago still stands in seting up accounts
such as a TIFT account commonly used for these sorts of purposes,
as well a registering a Domain name for the GA.
