Mike Anderson TFN's ex-Executive  Director (au966@torfree.net) asked:
:Why wasn't I able to get money out of the members or corporations?
:
: Maybe because the previous board managed to concentrate *all* power
: unto themselves, and refusing to delegate any to the paid staff.

 Perhaps. And perhaps the current       But human beings are funny
 Board is acting similarly. In fear     critters. They often act only
 of repeating past disasters whose      at the last moment, just before
 ashes still warm this discussion.      disaster is to befall them. Or
 The crying need is for a full-time     they wait till it's utterly too
 director/leader/pilot of TFN to        late and then scramble in the
 drag it into survival and the next     failing light to bring a new
 twenty years. And for the present      day. Very amusing species. The
 Body to TRUST, FOLLOW and SUPPORT      TFN has been a stellar example
 this person. A Director & a salary.    of our foibles and follies.

 Bob                                    Lets hope a turn for the sane
 Allisat                                and sensible. A director and
                                        salary and a Board that stops
              N O W !                   fucking around in day to day
              N ! ! !                   business. The void filled and
              O ! ! !                   a start to the long road to
              W ! ! !                   success.
