resp:214 I may not have a complete understanding of the event, but I did
read the items in coop. I also think that you would be a good addition
to staff. Additionally, I remember when you were a part of staff and a
few not-so-terrible things were said, then misinterpreted into the worst
light possible, you blew up at the writer and quit in a huff. 

No, I don't think you should be insulted by staff and board. I think
perhaps you should grow a thicker skin as to what's insulting. My
intention, with my last post, was to say that you were very helpful and
useful when you were on staff. Then you let a situation get WAY out of
control and got mad and quit.

Let me also say that I don't worship at the shrine to Marcus and STeve.
Okay? I'm not going to sit here and claim that they are the only ones
who know what's in Grex's best technical interests. I think your, and
Mic's, input would be very valueable. I just want to see you stick
around long enough to implement your ideas! :)

resp:216 Ultimatums, even disguised as porpositions, rarely make the
giver look good, or make anyone want to give in to that person. Or maybe
that's just me, they tend to put my back up. It sounds petulant. "I
didn't get an apology so DO THIS or I'm taking my toys and going home."
I don't think that's what you intended, and I doubt that everyone else
will read your statement the way that I have. You know, too, that Grex
rarely, if even makes decisions on anything in less than a week's time.
