Jack my friend, I think you may have been rather harsh with Fred. For someone who isn't aware of where the FCC Committee is heading with this, it does sound somewhat illogical. IMHO, such a harsh tone pretty much wiped out my previous attempt today to build membership. I thought posting the Ex Parte would be icing on the cake and show the non-members what they are getting for their dues. You know I respect you very highly. I feel I owe it to you as a friend to encourage you to try and explain it in clearer fashion so everyone can understand. I thought maybe Steve would step in and explain things but he must be away tonight.
