I think you people have a great group. However, I never come to meetings. Why? Because I was concerned about a key person in the group, who I thought was not mature -- in judgment
of others and communication. I did not want to deal with it, until the right time (and when a really interesting topic came up, I sprained my ankle), and with a right approach. I expected problems to arise in the group, but that took a long time.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">However, there are always people not completely mature in any group. It does not really matter, but it is just life. You have a good group with a good purpose, and so you deal with the problems. Ultimately, whatever this controversy is, it does not have to mean anything. Just keep the focus on the objective of the group and deal with the problems routinely. Accept these glitches as part of life. Nobody is perfect, but we all get by.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">I have no intention of giving
up on the group. It is a great thing.

didn't have a large turnout, but that could have been due to the weather.
