[TheForge] Seattle Board Meeting Minutes Posted

[Dan Scheid]

Hmm were you or were you not there? The minute say you were so.  By that you
should know the answer to the question. I asked a simple question that can
be answered with a simple answer.( that being the focus of ABANA) Now with
your rant I've made my decision and will take my membership $ and go else
where. I was hoping that the board was going to be more forthright.
