Re: AGA uncommittment (fwd)

["Karen Randall" <krandall@world.std.com>]

That sounds reasonable.  It can't hurt to see what the lawyer has to say.
On the other hand, my gut tells me that this is a no-win situation for us.
No matter how we respond, or if we don't, we will STILL get flack from
various parties.  I consider Gary a good friend, but I wonder what he'd do
if the the RSG treasury was at stake. (I know he has personally already made
a significant committment to the defense fund, but that's different than
doing it with an organization's funds)
