<VV> Fwd: Director`s Comments in Communique

[Bryan Blackwell]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this:

There are *two* people who are paid to work for the management  
company.  There are some other direct expenses - for example, CORSA  
pays most of the Internet connection for the server ($850/year).  The  
CORSA budget is published every year, BTW.

*Everything* else is done by volunteers.  I'm not paid *anything* for  
my time.  Neither is anyone else on VV-help.  None of the Directors  
are paid.  None of the Committee Chairs are paid.  Nobody.  There's  
also no significant revenue stream other than dues - and there have  
been several tries to get advertising, among other things.

BTW, this isn't directed at Ray, but for my several detractors:

Just to be clear on my position, I will happily give up my position  
*this very moment* to someone else who will do better.  Any takers?  I  
already offered a resignation once this year, I meant it then, and I  
mean it now.  I will make backup tapes *tonight* and FedEx them to  
whoever the BOD approves.  It's not too late.
