in the minutes of this borg meeting .. where was the Q & A about 'were
teh monthly backups accomplished?'
borg abdicating knowlege of the necessity of such a confirmation
in the face of *such* a huge, imminent danger action to be attempted
in teh very near future demonstrates a pathetically rudderless
insiders-cabal. where was teh oversight?

I think we should consider going to a for-pay, professionally hosted Grex
system, where all of the money that comes in goes to the company that
keeps the hardware and software running. Of course, we'd lose dial-in
capability and access to the shell and party, but we wouldn't be dependent
on the kindness of volunteers.
Lots of communities thrive on such platforms.

I don't think we're there yet. But I see it coming. And insisting the
board rule the staff, dictating they do more, better, and now, is a great
catalyst to that environment.

Re#75 Board policy generally defers to staff on most technical
issues except where those involving significant cost or steps into
policy issues.
It was, in fact, confirmed that a backup was taking place before
the start of the upgrade. I know because I asked the question
myself during the meeting. This is not a question of inadequate
oversight. The system was for the most part backed up. The
backup for the mail spool failed due to a simple mistake that
could have happened to anyone.

re 76 - then grex becomes just another web site.
The shell and the party attract new users, not the BBS. Some of those shell
and party users find their way to BBS, but new people don't generally just
wander into the grex BBS.

Re 79, we started on grex because of free dial-in email, then I got curious
about the bbs and Jim started playing with the shell account programs.

Re #80: The last board meeting was November 10. No minutes yet.
They're usually posted sooner than this.

re 81 - If you were trying to refute my point, you failed. "email" qualifies
under the "shell" access. In grexes case, it's not that different from having
access to a C compiler. Just another unix program/service that is part of
pretty much every unix system out there.
