Yes Jack, we are on the down side of the cycle right now, as are most user
based organizations right now.  The advertisers are also feeling the cyclic
crunch, but they have NOT completely evaporated. We will survive, and I thank
you all for sticking with us.

Untrue, we have the Chapter Desk in the FIG offices that handles any enquires.
Ask for Kent Stafford if any of you need anything.

I'm sorry, I forgot to address that one.  We made the election process very
clear to all of you, and we followed our Bylaws precisely.  The election
process was open to anyone who could generate enough support, yet, Jack you
were the only one who even bothered to submit a petition.  Unfortunately, you
were unable to gather enough signatures to meet the requirements.  Personally,
I was sorry that was the case.  I was looking forward to letting our members
vote.  However, the rules were clear, and it would have served no purpose to
spend money on a ballot process when there was no competition for the
positions.

Better luck next time!

 >  1) I still care what happens to FIG.

Great!  Then why not suggest workable solutions rather than engage in personal
bashing?

 >  2) The Board is still an assortment of prize chumps.

My point exactly!  Thank you for your support!
