[nabs-l] Recording the employment seminar

[T. Joseph Carter]

This sounds to me like there was some breakdown in communication 
somewhere, unless you believe that everybody involved is a 
pathological liar.  Breakdown in communication seems more likely to 
me.  Fnding and correcting it would seem to be the next step.

So, now I find out that not only was I decieved by NABS leadership, I was also lied to by the Chair of the Employment Committee. I guess an idea is only good and viable if it is suggested by someone with power within the organization. Fine. I will shut up and keep my ideas to myself.

My guess is, they "suppoprted" this idea to simply avoid looking like the jerk who said "no". My guess us they never really expected the idea to go anywhere, then, when the idea nearly became reality, their only option left was to lie.
