The TSTY agenda for Grex Board, 2013
| 
Jan 27 03:38 UTC 2013 |
Grex cannot be allowed to disappear or be subsumed into a 'foreign' culture
anymore than m-net can be allowed to disappear or be subsumed into a 'foreign'
culture.
Grex has, can, and will stand on its own cpu as it has in the past ... with
incremental improvements.
I will NEVER assist or approve of plunging an ax or axes into the heart of
Grex, Cyberspace Communications, Inc.
Yes, I have a mixed history with some of the personalities on Grex since that
first Island Park meeting when I was riding motorcycles and answering phns
at 764-HELP. But those were personality snits, not system survival
situations. Rise above the snits, please.
I also have an UNvarnished history supporting Grex in every way I could. And
I have held lots of positions, including former board member.
Now it seems that that time had come again and I can do this again. Home is
where you create it. Grex is home to me and I am not alone.
I would appreciate your vote for keeping Grex going. No reason exists
(technically or financially) for just giving up and going away.
I do have an idea or two to offer at the first board meeting after the
election to expand our reach but this is not the time or place for them.
Keeping the system up is the first and foremost situation to resolve. I will
appreciate your vote to do so.

TS, why isn't your campaign statement visible in the vote program?
This *is* the time and place to discuss what ideas you have to expand
Grex. I've based my campaign to merge M-Net and Grex on there being no
new ideas, and a declining user base. I think Grex is dissipating and
won't survive much longer on it's own. (So will M-Net.)
What do you have to stop that from happening? You could make me swap my
own vote if you have ideas that will turn things around and will be here
to make them work. I want Grex to survive, too.
I don't have any ideas like that myself. I'm running to make a merger
happen because I thought running and doing it was the only way it would
happen, and that a merger is the best way to keep the Grex conferences
around. I, personally, will lead Grex to make that happen if I can.
I'll do my best. My best is going to be pretty good if the users think
enough of me to vote me onto the Board.
Grex doesn't need someone saying, "I have ideas". It needs the ideas,
and someone to implement them. What can you do? What will you do, and
when? Once again, I'll support you myself if your ideas are better than
mine.

Why not hire a FB programmer to build an API from both systems?
Merging two dying systems does what exactly?
The few loyal folks on both systems wont let it die off.

You should probably ask that in my campaign item, Todd, since I think it
is addressed to me.
Maybe we'll wind up going to Facebook some day. I don't know. It's a
different environment than I had envisioned. It's probably different
than anything I would ever envision.
On second thought, maybe it'd be better if I let TS answer it since it's
in his campaign item. Sorry. I have no answer for that question.

i have notified the right people about my avaialble statement while
recognizing that those people have other thgns to do and i expect tht it will
show up in good time.
in the meantine, i pposted it here asa separate item (some things you do
are well worth imitating) and posted the command pointer in agora.
and i followed the dirctions issued so it;s all good as far as i;m concerned.
frankly, jep, your statemnt scared teh shiet out of me!
so the FIRST ORDER of oour SURVIVAL is to ASSURE that independent survival.
without that, nothing else matters and THAT is exactly what >I< stand for,
first and foremost.
others may disagree as is their wish, it is NOT mine!
i also noticed that our election got posted on the m-b0x, understandably,
since -they- may not want us! so they would have someting to say about it.
i had to create a new login to post over there, but it worked.
and i noticed that kite returned with (exxentially) my position.
we three have known each other for (dare i saye it) DECADES and each of
us credits each other for 'stuff.'
but this 'stuff' about merger (even as a -thought-) goes far too far
beyond the pale. but you are entitled.
if it generates some progressive activities (on either system) then it;s
all for the better. but i coould not, ever, support a combination.
WE ARE SEPARATE AND unEQUAL AND BOTH SHOULD STAND INDEPENDENTLY.
[sort of sorry for the yelling]
ther is no technical nor financial pressure on grex nor on the m-b0x.
we are both indebted to tonster and cross and kentn (among others - not
leaving anyone out on purpose) for their persistance / assistance and
motivation(s).
let the election proceed apace and i want grex to remain independent.
