I will do the right thing and step aside as VP of Finance, the day
Sloan does the right thing and slits his own throat.

Will I still get my $100,000 from Sloan if this happens? I'll vote for him
even if he's dead, but only if I'm paid first.

In fact, I started my professional career as a financial analyst who
wrote financial programs on a mainframe and PC. Early in my career I
was the Budget Analyst for the Kennedy School of Government. I took
many accounting courses and went as far as a CPA Exam Prep Course,
before realizing accounting was simply too dull for me to do it the
rest of my working life.

I beg your pardon.

However, as long as Hanke is VP of Finance, nobody will have much
confidence in the figures. With Bauer in as VP of Finance, we will
have confidence in the figures and the USCF will be much stronger as a
result.

Why? The VP of finance has no control over the figures. That power is held
by the ED who has yet to supply the finance VP or the finance committee with
a draft of the proposed budget.

Also, Hanke deserves no credit for the improvement of the USCF's
finances. Hanke was trying to give away the Books and Equipment
Business free of charge to some guy in England. Bill Goichberg got the
board to overrule Hanke's plan and give B&E to Hanon Russell in
exchange for a guarantee of $350,000 per year. Hanke is still upset
that his deal did not go through. It is only because of that $350,000
per year that the USCF now has a good chance to survive.

Sam, you know so little about what really happened that there's really
no way to clue you in.

Read the above posting by Tim Hanke carefully. Does this look like he
is prepared to step aside as VP of Finance in favor of the vastly more
qualified Randy Bauer? He even attacks Bauer unnecessarily when Bauer
has been very nice to him.

Bauer has said that he doesn't want the job and that Hanke is doing
perfectly fine at it.

Why ruin a good story with facts? Sam doesn't.

For the record, I hope Randy Bauer runs again for the EB in 2005 and wins a
regular 4-year term. If he does, I expect I will personally support him for
USCF VP of Finance, just as I publicly endorsed him for the EB in the recent
special election.

But there is no reason for me to resign as VP of Finance before my two-year
term is up in 2005. Not after a year in which USCF went from a $360,000 loss
to a $283,000 profit, according to the draft audit report. When is the last
time USCF had a positive one-year swing of $643,000 in the bottom line? :-)

Look - an organization that collects dues from several times 10'000
members, each paying $50 p.a. can *always* show a profit by cutting
services. In other words, the fact that the organization is in the
black for one year *may be* because it is moving in the right
direction, but doesn't necessarily prove anything.

See what happens when you appoint a CPA to the chair of the finance
committee.

Exactly how many people did the USCF terminate during that time
period, if you include the initial layoffs and B&E-related
terminations? 25? 30?

It doesn't take a genius to figure out where the $600,000 swing came
from.
