[TheForge] Seattle Board Meeting Minutes Posted

[northwoods]

Why don't you give Dave a friggin break? He directed you to the people he
felt could answer your questions better than himself. Sounds like he's doing
a lot for ABANA and the next conference, why do you feel the need to put him
on the spot?
So now you are going to keep your renewal money? Big deal.
