That was not my point - The point is - WISPA is supposed to be a powerful organization in the making, and it seems that the help to support the food / shelter requirements is one thing - but they can also stepup and help out with the resources / logistics needed to make the Part-15 project a success. I am sure Bullit will not ask for help but it should be offered, after all WISPA is supposed to be the main voice of our industry or atleast that is my understanding was from it's conception.
Not wanting to offend or piss anyone off Mac - you know you're a fellow neighbor to us, and anything you are doing definitely makes me proud.
