 I nearly fell off of my chair when
 I read who wrote this otherwise quite
 reasonable statment. Mr fucking. Anderson!
 Who worked full time as an alleged
 Executive Director for TFN on a full
 time basis. Mr. Anderson: where are
 the tens of thousands of dollars of
 donations a Freenet needs to survive?
 And why didn't Mr. righteous Anderson
 go out there and strangle it out of
 the ISP/Computer commercial interests!
 Why didn't Mr. Anderson lay down the
 law about the total, insane chaos that
 reigned supreme during the last Board's
 reign ?? While TFN burnt Anderson and
 company fiddled with my reputation
 and played the Spanish freaking
 inquisition while blundering away
 the total good will and support of
 the so-called "Internet Community"!

 Anderson's words are a farce! What
 a message of hypocrisy and hollow
 bullshit! The people who were directly
 responsible for this mess should hang
 their heads in shame and *never* shopw
 their miserable faces in this forum
 again unless it is in humility and
 apology! Last comment indeed! Wish Mr.
 Anderson and his insane collegues from
 the last TFN hierarchy would have chimed
 out of the discussion years ago!

 Incompetant, coniving, fractious and
 dunder headed. I throw my full and
 clear support behind the new board
 without hesitation. And the TFN DOOMSDAY
 clock has just been turned back for
 those of you who care. If only because
 damn fools like Anderson think it's all
 over. I always believe the opposite of
 what they say... so the future of TFN
 looks brighter today than yesterday.

 Support TFN... for the Community.
