Jeff,
Your reply is nothing short of very encouraging. I appreciate the controlled tone of what you are saying.
Private EMail would be more appropriate at some point, I agree. My address is public in the profile section, and I think I know how to get in touch with you. <smile>
I'm hoping for a win-win for everyone as a result of your efforts on this one. My sense is, and despite of all of my current optimism surrounding the matter, that there are enormous powers with extremely high stakes in the status quo who must be converted before any significant gains can be achieved. These established powers will undoubtedly join the fold once they either see the light in a self-enlightened manner, or, through recognition at some point for the need to survive. We would, in the main, hope that it is the former of the two options, although there are those entities who stand to gain significantly from a prolonged struggle.
In some ways, if you follow my reasoning, you and the others working along with you are holding many, if not most, of the _strategic_ cards, as contradictory as that may seem to some, IMHO.
I think that I can speak for most of the Members here, if not All, and wish you the very best of luck as you proceed. Again, I appreciate your keeping us posted in this manner.
Best Regards, Frank Coluccio |
