Angie & all,
I am trying to compromise by withdrawing my original motion. People tend to be
willing to bend more when approached nicely. That was what I was trying to
say. But it really doesn't matter since I have decided that there is no bending
on either side, so the best thing I can do for the peace of this project is to
withdraw that motion. Now maybe we can work together to achieve other
concessions on both sides. Let us talk about what our ideas of goals for the
project are. Where do we want to go, how can we grow. There are countless
questions to ask of our members. These need to be brought forward, discussed
and agreed upon. I am offering the olive branch here....
Thank you!
Terria

But you can only compromise with people willing to bend. Horace has stated
pretty clearly that his terms are non-negotiable. There's no way to
compromise with that. We either accept all his conditions, or none of
them. My personal opinion is to accept none of them -- *I'm* rebelling
against being threatened with having the domain name go to his personal
page if I don't agree with his ideas of how it should be handled.
