Jim, I do understand. And I respected you for putting up the black ribbons instead of the blackened logos. I just have one question in my mind, are you a Kentucky CC or not?

Richard and all... even before I removed my logos elsewhere, I cleaned up Henderson County and asked my assistant to take over. At that point I was willing to be "not in good standing" with my FLGenWeb Sites, but I was not willing to drag KYGenWeb and Henderson County into it with me. I thought I had cleaned everything before I put Netta's name on as CC. I still do all of the HTML for Netta and could have, would have removed it, if I had of realized it was still there. You have to realize, that I was angry at the world. I could not believe what I had just seen happen. It did not fit with the "Rules" as I knew them. I did not hurl flames, or even show completely how deeply hurt I was. I listened to everyone and tried to understand... I still don't, but that is neither here nor there. I decided to quietly protest. I admit the venue I chose was not the best, but it was the way I felt at the time, dark. When you made your motion, I wrote to you and explained myself and I listened to you. I then asked everyone to remove the logos, I even resorted to begging at least one supporter to remove them. My pages were cleaned and the black ribbons without links or commentary were added. You agreed at the time that that would be appropriate. I make no excuses and ask no quarter, I say again... I made a mistake "I" left a link on a page that I intended to be squeaky clean. If for that I am "Not in Good Standing", I will accept it and go on with my life. Thanks once again for listening, Jim
