All,
        Rest assured that the highligjhted text above must have been written in 
general frustration and before allowing the whole mind look it over. Our new 
by-laws will NOT be the product of any one person, nor is only one person doing 
the work now. This is a most unfortunate slip of hand that may well come back 
to haunt us for years to come, but is not true.

P.S. Joe, please share my message above with all the lists John's comments were 
shared on in the interest of fairness and truth...       Thanks...   -Karl
