<VV> [Corsabod] The tent & PR

[Dave Keillor]

Who said anything about a $50K position?  I said "paid, but not paid as
much as it's worth."  I also suggested two ways to pay for the position
-- and there are others, too.

Awhile back I convinced myself to stay out of the CORSA bullshit debate
and I was right.  I'll shut up and let others put on the show and decide
for myself whether the show is good enough to warrant my time and money.

Yeah, just what CORSA needs, another $50,000+ position that they can't  
afford!
 
Can they get the Communique printer to make some hundred dollar  bills?
