I am forwarding this but I still do not understand
the ramifications of what has occurred here other
than the whole situation is giving me a great deal of
stress...
It is currently being recommended that we do the
following things to protect the FLGenWeb Project from
whatever these folks think they are doing...
1) Make sure any pointers to the USGenWeb Project go
to
www.usgenweb.org NOT .com
2)Place a disclaimer on your site saying something
like:
The USGenWeb Project & FLGenWeb Project are a
non-commercial, all-volunteer organization and are
NOT connected in any way with USGenWeb, Inc., a
for-profit Idaho corporation.
These things need to be done AT ONCE. It appears
that this small group of folks are planning
something, heaven knows what, that would
theoretically allow them to make a profit from all
our hard work.
Like I need more stress.........

Jerry Dill, Lucy Dill, and Pat Smith have privately

Having done so, they have held that information
close to the chest for
two and a half months, not informing the National
Coordinator
of USGW,
the Board, or any other volunteer, to the best of
my
knowledge.
I found this out last Monday, and the Board and I
have been discussing
how to deal with the situation both with and
without Jerry
Dill, ever
since then.
LET ME STATE CLEARLY FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS: Every
piece of information we
have been able to gather says that in NO way does
this give
their
corporation ownership of The USGenWeb Project or
any part of
it.
I intended this information to go public a bit more
smoothly, tomorrow.
As it happens, however, it's been leaked on a
reasonably
large list; in
order to minimize privately passed misinformation,
I'm
announcing it
now.
