[svlug] SVLUG - hostile takeover

Those are, however, _correct_ accusations, which I back up when people
like Heather challenge them, as she did in creating this thread.  As
you'll notice, for example, Drew Bertola, the longtime owner of the
linuxpicnic.org domain, has just verified that Jennifer and Heather's
ongoing attempt at a whitewash is simply untrue -- and even Ian was
refreshingly forthright about this matter, to Michael Cheselka.

Absolutely not:  That's a pittance, most years.  What I resent is being 
lied to.  I thought I was clear about that.  Thank you for giving me the
opportunity to make sure.
