Where is this discussion group that you are eluding to? I will
endeavor to give it the once over.

Excuse me I meant to say $100.00. At any rate that is too high and
basically unnecessary as well. I am already a stakeholder. Why should
I pay twice, pray tell?

I don't need the education on DNS. I am more than happy to help others
however. We already have several programs in place now through [INEGroup]
as well as other groups. The IIIF fund has funded several, which I helped
establish as well.
If Don Heath has anything at all to do with this educational effort
that you are mentioning, I don't want anything to do with it!!!!
