Just for the record , . Cole Palen died ....Whereas as I understand it , from an ex- member of the board ( and correct me if I am wrong , with a "genuine explanation of what transpired" ) ;... Leo " left " because he was effectively out-voted by those who thought they could do a better job , which made his position untenable ,.... this current mess is the result .
Times also changed during all those years that Leo was at the helm...But HE kept it going ...Sometimes things change because "people" force the changes ,..could be that he who bends it , is not necessarily the best person to mend it ....I havn't heard much support for the new "on line" way , as against the tried and tested original (Sucessfull ) method of hard copy ( and even that was messed with ..see above ) ...and anyone who is not au fait with computers ( and most of the , older? people who are primarily builders, have just picked up a bit on computers ), or ,those who don't have one , are just not going to bother ,...especially if the present confusing situation doesnt change.... toute suit !..or even sooner !
