[NFBMI-Talk] May 3, 2025 board meeting

Fri May 9 00:46:55 UTC 2025

I was saying that the message put out to the list by Fae was a mistake. I
don’t think this is something we want to discuss right now. I’m hoping we
can respectfully let this go and allow what wants to emerge to come and its
own time if that’s to happen. I understand there’s curiosity around this
issue however for now let’s let sleeping dogs lie (to quote my old ROTC
Colonel).
