Carol, You are not in a position to call me down. You are a CC just like me. I replied to a message that was already posted. If you have a problem with me posting to the wrong list contact Tim. But as far as you calling me down you don't have that authority. Just in case nobody told you.

Wow 35 voted yes, 25 voted no, 2 voted present.. Though that did not reach the "quorum: and we (petitioners) did not win, I certainly say that it dang sure speaks volumes to me.

In fact if you go back and look at the archives Sylvia only mentioned a portion of the email which was sent to her, she did not send us the name of the sender, and if you look further you will find that it was TIM (our SC) who mentioned the senders name when he reprimanded Sylvia even though she had two very very legitimate GaGenweb questions. It's in the archives if you so choose to look. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GAGEN/2003-04 I've tried to be quiet and to stay out of the fire however I am just sick at this. Sylvia was totally reprimanded for her actions and I have seen so much come over this list from Margie and Gloria in just the last 24 hours which would have any one of us removed or at the very least monitored. Just goes to show who are the favored. Let's face it folks,, there was even a reprimand from Brenda for welcoming Bettie Woods back after all her trials . I also want to mention to all CC's on this list that Bettie Wood's Family Group Project has now been removed from the USGENWEB. I personally as a CC have received many comments from researchers about her project and I would suggest to all CC's to put a link to her pages where it can be found by researchers (since our leaders no longer think researchers want it, and that being only since Bettie decided to speak out for CC;s) I have placed a link to it on all of my pages. http://www.rootsweb.com/~garichmo/groupindx.html Debra Crosby ----- Original Message ----- From: Derek Nichols To: GALINA-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 12:53 PM Subject: Re: [GALINA-L] GALina or GAGenWeb...??? > At 05:14 PM 4/20/03 -0400, Sylvia Caldwell Rankin wrote: > >I guess this lets the cat out of the bag as to who sent me the > >private email, eh? > > Not really - for you did that yourself when you published her message > in its entirety - beyond fair use. Again, at no point did Sylvia state who the email was from in her quote. Again, all the SC has time to do is attack Sylvia, rather than address the issue that Sylvia was also attacked by a fellow CC. Why? Why? Why? Did Sylvia make a mistake in posting the email, maybe, I never saw the original. That doesn't mean the SC can go on and attack her as well, and ignore her complaint about being attacked. People want peace and respect. Well how about we start getting some from those who Lead Us.

Thank you so very much Donna for bringing this to my attention. I have shared borders for all my pages and this one is not working for some reason. This was actually a redirect page from several years ago when we were asked to change our url's to just index.

Peoples, We have recently been through a very tough time in the GeorgiaGenWeb Project. We all know that an election was held. Approximately two-thirds of the 96 necessary for a quorum voted (62 out of the needed 96). Moreover, less than HALF of the members of the Project voted. Regardless of the actual outcome, the opinion expressed by 35 of the 62 voters has been heard loud and clear. We have two choices in our future. We can go forward as a Project with unity of purpose, or we can sit here and say "shoulda, coulda, woulda", which is to say that we can sit here and argue that Tim really did not prevail, but, because there was not a quorum, the results were kicked out. There is no way to know how those other 66 voters would have voted, and any attempts to discern that or crunch the numbers would be purely speculative and would be an exercise in futility. My recommendation is that we go forward together as a project, and that we find common ground to go forward on. The issues presented in the Petitions are now behind us. They are resolved. You may not be satisfied with their final result, but they are, nonetheless, resolved and in the past. We have a Guidelines Revision Committee that is starting to work on the CC's Bill of Rights and making the current Guidelines comply with the National Guidelines. These are important tasks that we want to complete prior to the upcoming NC and AB elections so that we can have something before the Membership and effective as soon as possible and have something in the form of the protections that we all need and deserve without any undue delay. If you are not able to let go of the past, or if you are of the opinion that the issues were not resolved and are unwilling to let go of them, then perhaps it is time for you to resign from the project. I hate to sound harsh and mean, but, at this point, we need people who are willing to let the wounds heal and move forward, not people who are going to continue to pick at the scab until it continues to bleed again. I hope everyone chooses to stay. Richard

Margie, With all due respect, I believe my question was to Tim. I HAVE NOT mentioned any name. In my opinion, stealing from another site should also be listed in the guidelines/bylaws.

What I would like to know is what is the status of the trademark for USGenWeb Archives Project. Who has the right to rent, sell, trade the use of the project? Did Linda ever transfer the trademark to the USGenWeb Project? Whose name is on the most recent trademark for the USGenWeb Project? Guess I should have paid more attention back when it was taking place but since I did not use the Archives as a place to store material for the counties which I host I guess I was not interested which is a shame for anything that affects the USGenWeb and the GAGenWeb Projects should be of interest to anyone who cares about the projects and wants to see them continue as non profit organizations and never to be sold, traded, rented, leased or such by any parties. So could someone provide a definite answer to those questions and back it up with where we can find the documents which would proves whose name is on the trademark now?

Would someone tell me where to read what Linda needs to apologize to this list for? I ran Al-Jazeera thru search for this list and didn't find her post. I wouldn't have know about it if Margie hadn't posted it. It was my understanding that Al-Jazeera was a media outlet ??
