Re: [DML] Re: New DOA President & Vice-President

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Harold,

You are correct in the DOA has nothing to offer ME.  As I said before, I speak only for myself. 

As for not wanting to be a DOA member, I don't think I said that.  If they have something to offer ME at a reasonable cost (good value), I will join.  

Lots of great organizations have come and gone.  There may have been a time the DOA (as it is) had value, but that was because owners had little or no alternative.  I believe past officers of the DOA have been well compensated for their efforts, and therefore continued the "old ways" in hopes to continue getting the last drop of those benefits.  

I hardly think asking Josh to address some questions from last year can be qualified as "harassment".  Josh seemed to have no problem answering them as best he could, and I have every expectation that as time progresses he will provide us all with more information.

And you should know, I have plenty of experience volunteering for the DeLorean community, even if I disagree with specific aspects.  Did I mention all of my work for DCS 50 times yet??  The positive suggestions I have made in the past few days have been drowned out by the continuous personal attacks.  So pile on Harold, not like I have ever done anything for your benefit either, right?  I'm the stupid one I guess, because I continue to donate my time and energy to the community, yet have to continue to defend myself against "pushy self righteous know-it-alls".
