[TheForge] abana

[Andrew Vida]

I don't think anyone has been complaining.  I certainly have not.  I 
only relate my observations.  The ABANA board has had a TERRIBLE problem 
with communicating effectively to its members in the past.  I don't know 
what it is like now - perhaps all is well.  I just didn't care for the 
cloak and dagger flavor of things a few years back.  It's blacksmithing, 
not plays to take over the world.  Or *is* it... :)
