No Libby. Anyone can see if they are not trying to divert attention
away from the real issue, is that very few people knew about this
development. I only read about it a few days ago. This is the biggest
stinking pile of claptrap I've seen come from the AOBA board in, oh, 4
years. And I am seriously considering contacting the Tennessee Attorney
General myself to have this thing investigated. But Jerry probably went
to college with him so maybe that would get those who are very
concerned about this nowhere.

It's still not legal for the boardmembers of a Non-Profit to also sit
on the board of a For-Profit which they have created. Wasn't legal,
isn't legal. Who think they won't get salaries? Who thinks the profits
from this spin-off will go to benefit the AOBA membership as a whole?

Like I said, wait and watch.

All one has to do is read the P&L statements to see that this is true.
I did not fabricate that! Nice try. I don't know who is receiving those
commissions, but someone is, it's on the P&L statements! Don't make
yourself a fool in trying to discredit me when I'm only quoting figures
I saw n AOBA's own financial records! Give the readers a little bit of
credit!

Libby, I have received ads and more ads and yet even more ads from
those people who have the memberships directory in the Excel database.
Stop with this frigging stupid line of interrogation, everyone
including me has received those email ads. You all know it.

Agian, Libby, I don't who this salesperson is, but the last page of the
Alpacas Magazine P&L Statement for the 2nd qtr 2007 (the last one
available) shows this:
Advertising Sales Commisssions YTD $34,673.97

Who gets this? I don't have this information, but it certainly appears
that someone does.
