Jeff Neville,

Jeff, I can feel your frustration as a “moderator” and at the same time trying to stay neutral on the subject at hand. However, Jeff you also have an obligation to keep everything pertinent to the subject of the web site up to date that deals with the TIGHAR hypothesis.
If there is someone in the TIGHAR camp that confesses his good intentions that went awry all of us will eventually find out who that person is and appropriate action will take place. Nothing you can be held accountable for – there are bad apples among all of us, been there done that!
Regarding the “cloak and dagger” issue concerning the lawsuit against TIGHAR what less should we do to protect our interest? The interest I am talking about is more then the “TIGHAR’s hypothesis” it is about the freedom of expression, the freedom of questions,etc.
I have to agree with you with regard to Ric’s sometimes intolerant reactions to certain postings. He has a tendency to go off the deep end if it reflects directly on him or a decision he has made. However, giving some time to reflect I have found that Ric will modify his stance on an issue to a more moderate perspective and take into account the more conservative input from others. If you pass this onto Ric I am in big trouble, just kidding I think he knows where I come from!
In closing Jeff, you have done an admiral job of keeping the Web on a level keel and I don’t know anyone else with the patients and tactility that could do a better job.
With regard to your question of whether or not I have sent my estimation of where this lawsuit began, where it is currently or where it’s going directly to Ric. The answer is no – I thought you were forwarding the significant postings on the web to Ric. Give me the internet means to do so and I will. However, Jeff if these postings came directly from you to Ric I would expect that your appreciation of your contribution to the overall program will be greatly enhanced – do it.
