Re: [ga] Strong Arm Tactics

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Danny, Mike and all former DNSO GA members or other interested
stakeholders/users,

  Mike, I also am and have been for some time as you know not supportive

this sort of strong arm coercion  funding method.  It is unnecessary,
hurtful,
not ethical, and as Danny here indicates as I have in speaking for our
members, as well as has Karl, Eric, and a host of other long time
participants, not in keeping with a non-profit organization..  It simply

promotes ill will.  Such is not wise...
