I had thought by your title I was going to be grilled.

Let me make something clear I'm a member of the Mars Society not an employee.

I've in the past worked for nonprofits, but not currently.

But I do keep tabs on where my money goes and as you say a person can find out exactly how much money TMS has and what it is spent on.

I hardly ever us Yahoo search function, but having tried to google "Grondine and Cargo Cult" and only getting my most resent mention of it was depressing.

(An aside to Robert a search feature would be a really good thing.)

I'm worried that people coming here and reading Barry's and Ed's BS for the first time will get the wrong impression. But, if I'm also giving a less then flattering image of myself and the Mars Society maybe it would be best to leave them alone.

I find it amusing that Barry's whole approach hasn't changed since July of 2001. He quotes the duct tape paragraph then and now like it's fresh news now and actually revealing of anything.

Anyway I will think about your words and try to be less abrasive. Still, I don't intend to show either respect till they show others respect. Having seen their past behavior we know that is pretty much never going to happen.
