I feel like a broken record, but why not try again...

We need a meeting. [...] My availability for the coming week [remark-by-me: 2013-06-03 to 2013-06-09] is wide open. With the exception of Thursdays from 3pm to 4pm (EDT) I'm generally open

Let's come up with some candidate dates/times... Maybe use doodle to poll people?

I think the last meeting request I got was more than a month ago. I am currently available next Thursday between 9am-2pm.

Woody was informed of this concern weeks ago and knew about it when the above comment was made

@Rob, re hardware/funds/reimbursement: Donations to me are not a discussion 
topic for HiFo (Reinob even made utterly clear in public post that he never 
even considered donating to HiFo - ponder why that's like this and you might 
find out about some unpleasant truths regarding HiFo's image in the public, 
caused by Rob). If I got any donations, what they been meant for and how I 
handle them is solely an issue between me and the donors (or those giving 
credit, you have no idea what I negotiated with those guys that transferred 
money to me). I plan to ask all people that gave me money what I shall do with 
it as soon as HiFo reimbursed me for the HW - until then it's my hardware, 
and for sure it's not HiFo's donations, harddrives, or whatever. I originally 
planned for a more cooperative approach based on mutual free information about 
state of things, but obviously that's not going to happen with Mr Bauer, who 
prefers to talk about me in third person and behind my back only, lately - 
even when it comes to questions that nobody except me can answer.  You're not 
only killing community with such games, you kill yourself as well.
And one more thing: I really hate the way you always try to make us guys in 
techstaff look like we were gangsters, while I think lawyers are the worst 
gangsters on this planet, maybe together with bankers.
I am sorry I have to admit that I hope I won't be in next MCC or in HFC 
after elections, but if I am, I don't see any future for cooperation with a 
HiFo that's ruined and brought to zombie state by a Mr Bauer who hasn't 
radically readjusted his attitudes and habits.

I would like to send a small amount regularly each month automagically rather than having to remember about it. I guess if more people express a similar wish then it might be worth your while.

And then let me ask the mods in here to move/copy the relevant posts to a new thread titled "BoD internal chat, held public to let community know what's going on"

it's nice to be important
it's more important to be nice...
