Oh, and demands will get you nowhere. You'll have to ask nicely.
Yes, you should buy a bowler, and go bowling in it.

Mark, did you mean September 2001? (A few responses back).
How much of M-net's income is from membership dues? I know grex just got a
large anonymous donation, does M-Net get those too?

Re #242: Yes, I did mean 2001. Sorry, and thanks for catching that.
Re #243: To tell you the truth, no one has ever asked that their dues go
to anything other than the general fund, so I can't give a confident
answer. The reason we always give for having dues is to pay the regular
bills like phone, rent, electricity, and internet connectivity. So I
think if I got a request like that, I would throw it to the board, and I
suspect the board would vote that dues have to go to the general fund.
But I could be wrong.
Of course, you can make a plain donation and earmark the money for
whatever you want.

Re 243:
You *never* bowl, Jamie? But what if Grex decides that the best way to raise
money would be a Grex Board Bowl-a-thon? Your refusal to bowl could cause
Grex to run out of money and close up shop.
Therefore, I must recommend that all voting members vote *against* jp2, if
in fact he isn't disqualified for other reasons first.

I also never bowl, & would have to demand that any proposed Bowl-a-thon be
put up to a member vote, so that I could vote against it.

I don't know. I think we could raise a lot of money selling "heckling passes"
to a Bowl-a-thon featuring non-bowling bowlers.

I was ruminating this morning about the possibility of a member proposal
to bar Jamie from membership in Grex, on the grounds that his DMCA
threats demonstrate that he does not support the peacable exchange
of information and ideas, as declared in the Preamble and the Membership
sections of the bylaws. Any interest?
So far it's just a thought.

Yeah, banning people from membership because of their political views
_really_ supports the "peaceable exchange of ideas." Sounds more Stalinist
than anything to me.

No, he said "threats," not "political views." Maybe you were standing
too far away.

So it's to become the official policy of Grex that people who assert their
rights under Federal law are not welcome?
I assume you'll be making sure women and minorities are also barred from
membership.

I don't believe his views are the matter, but his approach which includes
legal threats including what I perceived to be implied legal threats against
members.

Yes, because Grex has violated his rights under Federal law.

Show of hands: who cares if Jamie is being oppressed? Didn't think
so. (Democracy in action!)

Are you eternally grateful on each such day? I mean, that's a *lot* of
grateful. Oh, wait! This is the Mandelbrot thingie you were talking
