Will somebody explain why so far only the May 21-22, 2007 meeting and
part of the February 3, 2007 meeting have been posted? We know that
the tapes of all of these meetings exist because Myron Lieberman was
present taping all of them. He states that he handed over all these
tapes to Bill Hall. Why has not Bill Hall posted them?

Is it possibly because of the objectionable comments that certain
board members plus the Executive Director made at these meetings?
Yesterday, I posted four short excerpts of the just concluded meeting
held on November 3-4, 2007 in Crossville, Tennessee. Many USCF members
are shocked to hear the remarks made by Joel Channing and Bill Hall. I
can assure you that this is only the tip of the iceberg. If the other
tapes were posted, it would be seem that many other comments are far,
far worse.

Meanwhile, there are constant claims that I made objectionable
comments at these meetings. However, if the tapes were produced it
would be shown that I was the most business-like board member at the
meetings. I never told dirty jokes or made off-color remarks like
certain board members did. I stayed on topic and was always all-
business.

So, when are these tapes going to be produced and posted? When will
the Executive Director and the board start complying with the by-laws?
Ever? Never?

To my mind this is both a fair and excellent point. Is there anything
false about Sam's claim that the tapes should be released?

First, this sounds like a good potential source of evidence for
litigation. Is a subpoena in order?

Second, if the membership rallied around the idea, I bet the tapes would
end up being released. This might answer a lot questions for people on
all sides of many of the issues.

third, the longer this is put off, the more likely the tapes will meet
with destruction in an "accident."
