Josh, Sorry but that email was out of line, why would you take the "we'll take our Butch fans and leave" attitude? it's totally against what we have all worked for in improving conditions for WISP's and access to our paid vendors. The first thing Dennis did was go on the Board list and announce it was his opinion and not as the board member and he would abstain from any board action if any was taken. I'm always irritated when people make grand stands over something when they know it's not really right. Yes I'm a fan of Butch's, I don't doubt for one second his qualifications, I'm also a fan of the rules that apply to everyone and if someone was a board member years ago but didn't support WISPA in the capacity they were representing now that is as violating to me as someone saying something bad about Butch. We have numerous camps in this group because people contribute a lot on here, I even say that you have been active enough to have a "Josh" camp of supporters. It shows a lack of that leadership expected of your followers to say "if this group wants to play by the rules we all signed up for, we're outta here. If Butch has made at least $1000 in revenue while promoting his business on here, which I'm sure he has, shouldn't you be asking "why do I have to pay my share and he doesn't?" I'm just asking.
The Regional Meeting provided great unity so when someone just willy-nilly says "I speak for many of us...." blah blah lets fly this rules following group if they disagree with me at all! I ask do you even get WISPA? It's just sad because this group has made me plenty mad on occasion but I can easily see how WISPA has assisted my business and the entire industry. How many customers have said "I'm leaving you and taking my friends with me", I lose maybe one or two people because of them but eventually they come back because my service is far better than my satellite competition, see the correlation.
