Here's the latest poop - The NC/AB are going to illegally ignore the USGenWeb Bylaws and create their own rules - by forcing a SC election in North Dakota - It's much like the President in Washington, along with his cabinet telling you - your Governor did something we didn't like - ie he called us on the carpet for illegal acts and we can't have folks telling us we're wrong - so we're tossing out your Governor - putting in our hand selected replacement and then perhaps you can vote for someone who'll please us. If not, we'll do it again until we approve of your choice. I suspect that they will declare me not eligible to run - so even if you want me, they are going to tell you tough cookies - we're gonna help you decide on someone else. Word is that former resigned ASC Joe Z - CC Pembina and Ramsey - will be interim SC. To that end I've removed my work from the State site. I refuse to let the nationals steal my work. If this continues - the national folks will increase their control, for in their proposed bylaws - they want to tell you how to design your page, where to place the logos and so forth so that sites can be cookie cutter look alikes. I've enjoyed being your State Coordinator and would hope that each of you continue to build your sites for the visitors to your North Dakota counties. I shall continue with my sites whether or not they will be a member of the once upon a time USGenWeb Project. For those in cahoots with the National organization - shame on you. Please feel free to write me. Tim Stowell State Coordinator NorthDakotaGenWeb

This is getting so I'm thinking of resigning my CC positions; I don't care who is wrong or who is right or if both are wrong and both are right - this isn't genealogy and it isn't helping anyone !!!
