I felt it necessary to put the info on the net because of the
situation it created. In spite of Steve's comment "Your "situation"
is a joke and created by certain persons with their own agenda", his
procrastination left Dan and John with no idea what funds they had to
work with until shortly before the Gathering. It left people
thinking we were short of funds and generated discussions at the
Gathering about incorporating, having elected officers, people
feeling obligated to donate additional funds, etc. I don't consider
that "situation" to be a joke and felt everyone concerned needed to
know the facts so we could make some rational decisions concerning
future Gatherings.
And yes, at this point, if there are any future communications, they
can be handled off line. As a member of the steering committee, I
hope to have open, honest, and timely communication for future Gatherings.
