[Qcwa] My apology

[qcwa@mailman.qth.net]

To the group at large:
       I apologize for the upheaval I set off about three weeks ago. I have 
found I was totally without basis and wrong and I ask for your forgiveness.
       It was like this. I raised some questions about an action taken by the 
board of directors, and some considered this an attack on them and also on 
the action they had taken. While I had stated in my post that I agreed with 
their position, some did not understand me and I regret the misunderstanding. 
I see that my raising questions caused even more upheaval.
       To clear up my personal discomfort, I located the constitution and 
by-laws and have read them meticulously several times. I discovered QCWA has 
granted total and absolute authority in all matters to the board of directors.
       This is opposite to my experience in several other voluntary 
organizations in which I have participated. I wrongly assumed QCWA would be 
similar.
       However, no matter what my preferences might be, the constitution 
states how this organization is to operate. I do believe in following 
leadership and not in chaos in groups and organizations. The group as a whole 
has decided that this is the way things are to be. One either complies, seeks 
change, causes chaos, or leaves. I wish no chaos by continued agitation. Let 
us work within the group's wisdom of action. 
       To the board of directors, officers, and each of you whom my questions 
and comments have caused offense, I sincerely ask you forgive me. I have 
repaired my ignorance and wish to repair the breach between us as members and 
as amateur radio operators.
