Denise
I am very sorry that you feel I have attacked you and the AB. Until I pushed further I
wasn't getting any answers. You finally gave me some answers and that was all I hoped
to get to understand the situation.
If you feel that I am making attacks, then please unsubscribe me from the lists so you
won't have to listen to me.
My apologies

Just so everyone knows, I never have a problem with trying to give anyone else answers to
questions that I might have the answers to. However, if I feel that I am being attacked,
or that the AB is being attacked, I will never just roll over and take it. I do not lay
down to get walked on. I don't try to start problems with anyone. I try to solve
problems, and I believe I have solved numerous problems while I've been the NC of this
project. I have no desire for this Project to fail or cease to exist, and I don't
believe there is anyone on the AB that wants that either. However, I will stand up and
defend myself and the AB. I wholeheartedly believe in this project or, 2 weeks after
having cancer surgery, I certainly would not have attended a national FGS Conference every
day in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and I certainly would not fly to Raleigh, NC to attend another
one and spend my money to do so.
But if anyone thinks I'm going to just lay down and get walked on when someone is
upset about something in this project, think again. I'm certainly not into self-abuse
but there are times when it feels like I'm supposed to take abuse.
If there is something wrong in this project, I try to get it fixed. I'm not perfect,
and I certainly do not know everything and I'm the first one to admit that I don't
know everything, but I am open to information, ideas and suggestions.
I always try to be cooperative and work well with everyone but don't come at me like
I'm hiding things or telling lies or anything else. Everyone I know thinks I'm
honest to a fault, and the truth be told, that is probably true. So I generally err on
the side of being too truthful with people.
If you want something from me, just ask. But ask in a way that has me WANT to help.
Don't accuse me of anything, because you could get some unvarnished truth that you
might not want to hear. If anything, I shoot right from the hip, and I know that some
folks don't like that, but if someone wants to be untactful with me, they could get
the same back.
I want everything in this project to be successful otherwise I would certainly not have
entered my name in the hat again for NC just to take abuse from anyone for any reason.
You all just need to know that.
I have known some folks in this project whose commitment was to see this project fail and
cease to exist. We have not been having those problems for several years now, and my goal
is that we are here as long as possible, so I will fight to protect it as long as I am a
member of this project.
If you need help with something, just ask. If you have a question about something that I
may have the answer to, just ask. That's what I am here for. And to help the project
grow.
Let's see what can be done to help the Archives and the TP Project. Quibbling over
who did what when doesn't help anything. Threatening to never place anything in the
archives again isn't the answer either. Everyone can choose to send contribution of
data to the Archives or to a state or a county, or even both. And I don't care what
has gone on in the past, I just want us all to have a successful project. So let's
just concentrate on that.
So, let's just see what we can do to help the Archives and the TP Project and get
things back on track instead of attacking me or the Project. That certainly does not help
anyone or anything, and it doesn't help preserve all the hard work that contributors
have made to the Archives or the TP Project or those who want to contribute and
haven't been able to. Hopefully, this is the impetus to get those special projects
back on track.
Thanks.
