It has been brought to my attention that someone is spreading lies about me as a candidate for the position of the National Coordinator. This is about the only avenue I have to respond to those lies. A person has sent a message to a state list that says I have tried to destroy the USGenWeb. It has NEVER been my intent to destroy the USGenWeb. Only to attack those that do not uphold the highest standards with regard to their actions for the USGenWeb. I have been an advocate for openness and fair dealing. -- “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

Before the flame wars get started, this post is not appropriate for this list. No one is going to turn this project business list into a political platform, no matter who they are or what they consider to be their reason. Please do not continue the thread.

Hello Billie, May I make a suggestion to you? As a candidate for the position of National Coordinator, you do have the right to ask to be subscribed to every regional list. This post might be more effective to the list that includes the state where you are say these posts are being made. Posting to this list will only reach one person (the SC of that state) who possibly knows what you are referring to and might just offend those of us who don't have a clue and don't appreciate the mud-slinging politics from either side. You can also ask to be subscribed to the state lists. I understand that that does not mean that the State Coordinators will allow you to be subscribed as each SC makes the decision as to whether or not candidates will be allowed to be subscribed during the election. I do allow candidates outside my state to subscribe to my state's list during the election, but only for posting positive posts. You are a member of ARGenWeb and so are already a member of that list. However, I would suggest that you be careful in how you phrase your posts because one complaint from other members of the list and you would on moderated status. And I will say AR folks are kind of prickly when it comes to politics. <G> And THAT was one of MY promises when I became SC - I wouldn't let the AR list become a political mud-slinging arena and they are quick to remind me of that if it starts.
