[agenda] Re: [ga] RE: Recall of GA Chair

[Eric Dierker <eric@hi-tek.com>]

Not true Roeland,

Only if you gage success by an award or winning a battle are you right.  I think
neither you nor I gage success that way.

We have accomplished much and will continue to do so.  You have helped to teach
many and that teaching has broadened the horizons of many more.  Gage your
success on enlightening one human being after another.  Gage it upon the
speaking of the truth and the love of your Internet which you have brought me
closer to understanding and therefor thousands.

Friends do not gage our effectiveness upon the immediate reflection by the
powers to be or our positions, gage it within your own selves and the truth you
speak and the effort and Esparanza (dream) you all have.  Remain true to that
dream and keep working at it and it will soon be here.  Dot not gage time within
your time but within time of the evolution of our Net.

The battle is long the road is narrow but only by a long dogged percerverance do
we have a chance to win in the higher sense.

Ultreya,
Eric
