[pct-l] Bottlenecks

[Dave Fajer]

Andrea,

I certainly hope that you don't experience anything like that!  I am so
utterly stunned at what transpired in public by supposed leaders of the PCT
community that I simply cannot engage in any more discussions about it.

I simply crossed off a lot of people and groups on my list that I have lost
respect for and don't care to have any involvement with and won't support
in the future.  I will be "passing by" the Saufleys out of respect and
hopefully seeing you guys on my way to Canada.

I most certainly don't see a need to ever support or attend KO and we can
hope that the recent public attention will cause some of them to quit and
take their attitudes with them!

This is not a PM because it isn't a discussion and is a message from me
that I wish the broader community to see but I won't be responding further!
