I remember a posting between you and me last year that you stated something
along the lines of "you are too good for working at a fast-food joint", ok
I was really mad about this and was going to respond but decided not to 
because your attitude is not worth my time.  Thanks to those people that 
work at McDonalds or Burger King that keep their head up even though 
it's a shitty job (You are better off than welfare, you got pride).

Anyways my 'perception' of you was pretty negative, dunno what you woulda 
done in my shoes.  Forget the 'minority' issue, I'm sure people look at 
personality more than over race, if not well then my bubble is burst  again.

: 'trust' as a way to conduct 'business'. That does not mean I begin with 

'trust' to me is THE way to conduct business.  If I couldn't trust you on 
anything you would not be working with me because either I would have 
quit or you would have been fired (depending on who is boss).

: mistrust, but actually as a measure for protecting what is obviously 
: 'public property' that I am double-responsible for it, as the office 
: manager and as a board member. The problem with trust is that it takes 
: long to build, and no body is sure what can happen to oneself tomorrow, 
: so recording is essential.

: be pursued through community organizations, e.g. the Canadian Arab 
: Federation for Arabic-speaking community. I hope it is still possible 
: that TFN can act as the umberella for all ethnic/languistic communities, 
: as its mandate is (well, remeber the question about what language you 
: prefer to use when you first filled the on-line application?). This 

I think TFN is 'still' doing it ;) after all we are a multicultured 
community and why wouldn't they?  I think all this thing was about you 
and not the arab federation who had no part in your behaviour.

: development needs TFN to adopt at least newer versions of software it 
: already has (even for just text-browsers), or moving on to PPP, which 
: though to my knowledge is currently HW-wise possible, but may need at 
: least having faster modems to economically use the time allocation for 

I think it's a waste of time.  Information does not change due to pretty 
pictures.  And.....The web is lame!  I think in the present financial 
posti then TFN is in right now, 9600 BAUD modems sound more feasible than 
14.4 modems.  

: the users. Any way, what the board will decide to do is up to the board 
: (which I no longer consider myself part of though I could have forced 
: myself on the board as I am an elected person, and that the motion did 
: not 'carry' as postulated in the motion that was proposed _only_ in the 
: last AGM that even, according to legal advice, is not 'constitutional'.

: I have no time to pursue this issue - I am not a negative-oriented

I wish you well Nabil, take good care.
