Dale said: "Good post Mark I spoke with my friend Jim Colman at length this am. A. Couple facts to consider. Jim loves this list but has no vote on these or any other issue the board comes up with. He has read about 1700 posts on the subject since this started. he does care but he is only one voice. So influence yes, vote...nada. The post notifying list closure that was not posted to us here was an oversight and the reason Jim posted his comments. Jim says a major blunder. So a bit of grace might be in order here. Ok, so the short version . HL is a leased program which can go away if delegates vote for it to. So step up, go to counsel, make our voices heard. As it is said" I have met the enemy and its us". Can be true if we do not participate. I told Jim much damage has been done and many of us are really ticked off, including me, and that the Indians are leaving the HL reservation never to return. That said , Marks letter reminds this anti- organizational left over 60s rebel of the intrinsic value we have all received from the org.and indeed no baby should be thrown out with the bathe water... Much as I,d like to at times. I remind Jim that much of the lists members contributions are not political but educational, ie tech tips, forum and such in the journal. Convention teacher etc. He totally gets that. He is not the enemy. Anyway HL will disappear from non use or because we made our voices heard thru organizational channels. The. Choice is ours brethren Kind regard Dale.....still an Rpt" Dale, And why is it that you have to be the "messenger"? Can't our illustrious Prez speak on his own about these issues! THAT is the main reason why I'm so pissed off in the first place! He needs to get a spine and own up to things and keep the masses INFORMED! The "oversight" was just another slap in the face. It was not posted From the president or even from the individual, Jim Coleman, Jr., but rather from PTG! What the hell is that? We deserve more than a "form letter" response! Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
