What's the point, Fred?
The Archives have been operating just fine, and growing fast. They would
not exist if Rootsweb had not offered the free space under our
conditions. Tell Carol Hammett that there are *no* ads on the USGenWeb
Archives, which is ASCII text.
I don't have the patience right now to play a word/mind game with those
that are spreading lies and rumors because they have some ax to grind
with Rootsweb.
Fred, are you planning to use the USGW Archives in your "silent
partners" investment? If so, you will have a fight on your hands.. just
as USIGS and USGenWeb, Inc. did when they tried to take the Archives.
I apologize to the lists, but I've driven across country and am still
unloading two moving trucks and trying to decide where to put
everything, plus get kids enrolled in school, and I have NO patience for
the rumors, lies, and the attempts to destroy or take over the USGW
Archives.
Fred.. you never answered my question about the "silent partners" group,
or do you plan to answer it before midnight, when the polls close?
I am also disappointed with you, very disappointed. Isn't Carol Hammett
the same one that you asked to co-cc a TN county with you so that she
could become a USGW cc when she was asked to keep her anti-RW sentiments
over her Combs mailing list digests to the RW discussion lists and not
the USGW lists? I think it's her, because when I resigned as a cc, you
asked if I wanted to co-cc a TN county so that I would still have
cc-status. (Actually, I'm still a co-cc in VA.)
Btw.. state coordinators who are allowing the blatant mistruth that
"Linda Lewis owns the Archives" and/or "Linda Lewis can sell the
Archives", if you don't stop those mistruths as soon as you see them....
then you are not very good leaders. Ok.... if I *could* sell anything,
it would be the front page of the Archives.. the main webpage. Wow....
how many cd's should I press? hmmmmm..... the page is 22,461k, not
counting the graphics.... I could put, what?? 10,000 copies of that one
page on a cd and sell it? wow.... I'd be rich! LOL!!! But.. not as rich
as the "silent partners" must be planning.
THE ARCHIVES ARE NOT GOING TO BE SOLD!!!! THE FILES BELONG TO THE
SUBMITTERS WHO HAVE GIVEN US, THE ARCHIVES VOLUNTEERS, TO STORE THE
FILES FOR FREE ACCESS.
ROOTSWEB IS NOT GOING TO SELL THE ARCHIVES!!!! THE FILES ARE THERE FOR
FREE USE, AND IF THERE WAS *EVER* A FEE TO ACCESS THEM... THEY WOULD ALL
COME DOWN... OFFLINE.. NOT EVEN IN A SEARCH ENGINE.
