Hi William:
I am at no position to discuss either the bylaws, or the motions that
passed. This is not a discussion of the merits of GUI - with its value to
both users and advertisers. The motion to apply GUI was passed in a legal
AGM, and as such should have been implemented by the board who is
selected by the membership to do what the membership - not to mention
many other FreeNets - have done long ago.
The fact is the current board is legally responsible and can be held
accountable.
You will see a lot of garbage thrown on me and a lot of lip service of
what WILL be done and what have been done (all are very flimsy gains and
I beleive they knew it from the start)....
They would keep the TFN the Dinosaur it has been (not to mention cutting
a limb here and there in the name of security).
Sincerely,
Nabil
