(duh)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I have to "duh" myself here.  I should have done this from the start... I
got a reply from James H regarding the forum issue, and was a little taken
aback by some "brazen" statements (which I'll share with you guys later),
and wanted to do a little character background checking.  Was thinking I'd
e-mail Roger or Ghazanfar or Phil Edwards to get an idea, but decided to
check myself first.  So I popped over to the Aquabotanic forums see what's
up.  But while there, I found the thread about Vicki Costley's car wreck.

Karen, you were dead on in your hunch.  During an incredible outpouring of
grief in late October, they collected several hundred dollars, from around
a dozen people, in about a week.  This was spent on a wreath at the
funeral, but there was quite a bit left over and it appears that they
didn't know what to do with it.  Someone suggested donating to a
conservation fund. Then someone said "I know!  Let's ask the AGA to
administer an award in her name!"  And about 2 people said "yeah, great
idea!"  So I think our reply was dead-on for this.

The good and bad news is, of course, that our reply was forwarded and 
posted there.  Bad in that people may be pissed off.  But good in that at 
least they'll be pissed off by our actual words rather than someone's 
retelling.

I'm going to take a break and hear David's input from the legal chat 
before I get back to the "forums" discussion.  Too many issues packed in 
too tightly this week.
