I am just catching up to this thread, and there are a lot of
assertions without specifics that are hard to respond to
constructively.  But this one is very easy.

I can assure that at NO time did the Board make any recommendations or
decisions about budgets for spins media, otherwise it would be
reflected in our public minutes.  I am not sure from whom you heard
this, but that statement is entirely inaccurate.  I would invite that
person, whoever it is, to respond here, or to me privately, and I'd be
happy to talk about his or her misperception.

As do we all.  Specifics would be helpful in helping to solve
problems.
