-----------
The Flagstaff 2000 minutes are posted on teh ABANA site.  What does George
mean in "hidden minutes"?

Every organization has "official minutes" that don't contain everything
said - they are usually edited to contain the essence of the discussions
with important facts and figures.  The minutes are then usually approved at
the next board meeting and it is up to the board to correct anthing missing
or incorrect.  Nothing must have been missing since I believe the minutes
were accepted by all.

-----------
Nothing about $25,000 in the minutes.  That doesn't mean that somebody
didn't "throw out" some numbers in the but I don't think there is anything
here to hang your hat on George.

----------
This was the vote on the publications and it doesn't appear that George was
being considered.... but read on.  What is George saying?  Is he saying he
was too late for consideration?

Did George just shoot himself in the foot or am I missing something?
