1. This is the second time I've raised these 2 issues (IP & continuing
AUUG unincorporated)
    Neither has garned any response.

2. I explicitly asked last time if the Board would investigate this option.
    Not acknowledging for the second time is inexcusable. It's very
intentional.
    I don't need a full answer - just to know the question *will* be
answered in due course.

3. The Boards since around 2000 have been 'black-holing' my emails.
    Would someone, anyone please tell me what's wrong with me.
    This has hit me really hard.

4. When I'd heard Liz had left, I offered to run AUUG as Office Manager.
     Although I chased up multiple times, the best answer I ever got was:
       "We have a lot to do. We'll consider it when we can."
    I never even got to pitch a price :-(
    I really could've used $10,000/year at the time and believe I
could've made the difference to AUUG
    continuing.
