You along with the other sixty people at the first conference,including the founding board, did a great thing in 1976 but it seems you personally have been very clear you don’t want us to be successful and regret ever having taken part … are you now saying you wish us to be successful?

I just wondered what your reasoning was for not issuing a press release. — it seemed there is some hesitation on that — and it is puzzling.  You’ve done it on other issues, less pressing than this one.  Why not make your stand even more visible — on your own website?  It’s a good statement.  Why not post it there?  I would think that it would be Exodus’s best interest to do so.
