Before you read the rest of this email please take a look at the August 16 post over on <a href="http://hamVoIP.org">hamVoIP.org</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>I really don't want to wade into this political BS. I should be coding not spending time on this BS. Even so I've spent tons of time behind the scenes attempting to get folks working together. I hesitate to speak publicly on this but my low key approach has not worked. So, some false statements must be publicly corrected. I will address only this particular post at this time. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>First, "The server" is not owned by one person. The very reason AllStarLink, Inc. was formed is to prevent that scenario. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Second, there is not just one server.

That's just not true. The reigns were turned as officially as possible given Jim's sudden death. Jim's long time friends and co-developers of AllStar contacted current and past AllStarLink board members and made arrangements for what you see today. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>Additionally, it's true that migration to the new servers didn't go perfectly. But it's extreme unfair to bash individuals who are only attempting to improve AllStar. Ham Radio is about learning if it's about anything. Making mistakes happens as part of the learning process. Now we have a better system and no one got shot as my Marine friend used to say.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:18.0pt'>The August 16 HamVoIP statements are divisive and only serve to build up some individuals at the expense of others. To HamVoIP principals I say enough of that crap! If you want to build a better mouse trap you are welcome to that. Go for it.
