Dear Joao:

I do not want attention. I prefer to have the TFN working. As for 
positive or negative attention as you put it, in my vocabulary they are 
advocacy. You seem not to have dealt with an activist before, nor does 
the current board. Rest assured that I am not looking for an 'opening' as 
you put it.

However, just for your info. I have volunteered to work at the office - 
even after my removal - and actually renewed my pledge to do so, after 
being informed that Geoffrey Gies can no longer volunteer. 

So please Joaoa, do whatever you want to do, whether positive or 
negative, I do not care.

Now to put every one at ease, I - though informed that at least 8 
positions were be opened for elections - clearly made my point that I am 
not going to appoint myself. I would prefer to keep my privileges as an 
ordinary user, with a healthy interest - as opposed to apathy - in what 
goes on.

Only time would tell..

Sincerely,

Nabil

: : Well, believe it or not, I did not help in any way in digging that pit.

: : and will continue to do so.

: Pressure SHMESSURE! You are just throwing another tantrum because things
