[TheForge] abana bashing isn't productive, an open review might be

[George Dixon]

Nothing needs to be 'bashed'.
Nothing needs to be exempt from oversight, review or comment either.
Politics is human nature, unfortunately so is misuse of office, 
duplicity and the occasional ethics challenge.
A serious review of the actions taken by members of the abana board 
cannot be a negative thing.....so long as
nothing negative has been done.  A serious review of abana's conferences 
cannot be a bad thing....so long as it  is fair, comprehensive and 
honesty reported.

Questions about finances, organization, auctions  or bidding conducted 
by abana's board are part of the oversight any member of an organization 
may deem to undertake.  The reaction of board members seems to be 
proportional to the degree they wish not to be reviewed.    Nothing to 
hide, nothing to fear.
