Hear, hear John. Personally I think you folks are doing an exemplary
job in some pretty ugly circumstances. Speaking for myself - thank you
all.

For those others on r.a.s. (are you listening/reading 5-BG?) endless
speculation on something you know nothing about is pointless and
counterproductive. Questions as to why the ED is still there and the
CFO is not, whether the accounting firms insurance should pay or who
should hang are all based on your speculation and not on any facts
whatsoever.


Quote from the SSA's 9/7/2006 information release:
"In this case, the ED was aware of the failure to file for much of the time
he was employed by the SSA (approximately three years). He neither secured
their filing, nor notified the Board of Directors (including the Treasurer)
of the delinquency until July 31, 2006."

So, based on this fact, not "specualtion", why is the ED still employed by
the SSA?

For the record, I do sincerely appreciate the efforts of the SSA directors
to keep the membership informed. The seem to have taken the lessons from
the last scandal (the former ED's credit card abuses and the efforts of some
directors to cover up them up) to heart.
