If this is really the case, can you please explain why formula16.org and formula16.com, the domain names that we previously relied on, are now in the hands of domain squatters, rather than promoting the class that the rest of us want to see succeed?



Yes I can.

After the abuse I received from both the GC, F16 chief measurer and now an increasing group of class members (who form their opinion on actively dissimated yet incorrect information), I felt no longer bound to incurr costs on behalf of a class that doesn't appear to give me any respect.

As was stated by Pepin "the result of the vote was overwhelming : don't pay that guy a dime ...". So why do you still believe that I should pay alot more then a dime to "do the right thing" under those circumstances ?

I payed several hundred bucks alone over the years to maintain the URL's and continued to do so well after the "negociations" and the migration to the .net url. I think that I did my best. All I got in return was that all blame was laid on my shoulders and untruths being propelled like I only "helped" form the class and that the class rules "somehow got lucky" in being succesful.

It's been a long time since you've said anything on this forum that has been in the best interests of the class.



In fact, all I have said is in the interest of the class. The current GC completing their tenure in a year and making room for a new blood IS in the best interest of the class.

I give the dealings with regard to my person as one example out of several. (notice the hint !) We really don't want similar things to happen with say event sponsors etc, hosting clubs, etc.

The GC could have handled all of this alot better and even come out ahead in class budget. But they didn't, they actually achieved the worst result they could get. Not a good showcase of (essential) skills.

Therefore I bring attention again to my proposal to have the current GC complete their tenure in a year, thank them deeply for the services rendered, and then replace them by an new GC.
