Can you tell me how removing a local chapter from our list would get us new
members?

Dr. Ting is current Vice-President.  John Hall is President

Are you suggesting that we continue to pour money into an activity which
continually lost money?  Talk about "failure-oriented management".  Sheese

<grin>  Just how many magazines have you run Jack?  Do you realize how few
Forth vendors are still in business (let alone those who are making any kind
of profit)?

I'm still trying to figure out any positive suggestions you are offering Jack.
Are you waiting until we place you onto the Board before you do anything about
the situation?  Do you expect that you can increase our respect for your
opinions by continuing to bash our abilities.  Give us some workable ideas. 
Show us what you would do differently.  I gave you my support once, and placed
you in the position of Chapter Coordinator.  I saw an initial flurry of
activity, but soon you resorted to your more familuar mode of bashing the very
organization that you were supposed to be working for.  How are we supposed to
take your intentions now?
