Freddie,

I was wondering if all of the problems you were having with your AFA group ever
got
resolved, especially the disclosure of the financial records of you "Foundation.
As a "non-
profit" organization, you are required to make all financial records available
to the
membership, not just the Board Members. Everyone has the right to see where the
money
is going, and what it is beoing spent on. You seem to have trouble grasping this
concept.

There is a lot of money from your foundation that needs to be accounted for,
including the
credit card debts incurred by you and Charles.

I see by the "Cool Link" on your AFA Yahoo site that the AFA.org organization no
longer
exists. Have you set up shop somewhere else? If you are going to be running a
"non-
profit" organization or Foundation, you need to make it open for all people with
this
disease. No one should have to have their posts "approved" by a moderator, and
everyone
should have access to the information in the Archives. There was some useful
information
there before you closed it to everyone but the officers and moderators.

You once threatened to sue me for what you thought were "liablous" postings when
all I
was doing was asking legitimate questions concerning the dealings of you
foundation. I
was banned from your group because I dared to ask questions about the finances
of the
group, even after you had posted that you would answer any questions we had. I
know
that the Archives were closed because there was too much conflicting information
about
how the group was run and the financial dealings.

People that suffer from this debilitating disease have enough problems without
having to
worry about making "donations" or paying "dues". We just can't afford the added
financial or emotional strain.

So, here I am, Freddie, waiting patiently for your answers. Are you going to run
and hide
again, or ban me for questioning your methods? I await your response.
