Why is it not? In the case of PLUG, it is essentially a group of officers
with a mission and empowered to meet various roles in the community.

In any case, it's the volunteers who do things that decide the direction
for PLUG.

Running a 501(c)3 requires follow-through. That's something we haven't
accomplished any of the times we've worked to start one. In any case, it's
orthogonal to what PLUG needs. It's a red herring.

Lisa, for years you've been making these inaccurate claims and for years
you've been corrected. Please stop. We get regular comments about having a
behaved and useful list. False claims detract from that.

PLUG is not run by me or any other single person. PLUG activities happen
because volunteers put in the effort to make them happen. I am not
involved in the Installfests or the security meetings. They happen because
volunteers such as yourself make them happen.

I also do not control the steering committee or any other aspect of
PLUG. At least one person has made it on the steering committee against my
vote. Majority winѕ.

Fine, make comparisons. Explain what you've learned from experience.
That's good and positive.

Repeatedly making false claims is not helpful. Your false claims also
distract and obscure anything positive you might be trying to accomplish.

ciao,
