before i leave for work, i'd like to take exception with that statement as a
founder and a highly visible contributor to all things evolt.org...

admin was set up to handle *all* the tasks you cite (IA, redesign, coders, CF,
list, etc., etc.)...

thesite was created to move the dev out to a larger group (greater
participation, more resources, etc.)...

theforum was started (by me) to create another group to set the long-term
direction of evolt.org...

at no point did i agree things like list administration, granting access, etc.
was *not* part of admin....

the only reason you can claim it is not part of admin is simply because
people like me no longer have access, and haven't been given access after
asking (repeatedly)...

wrong.

*i* suggested and formed theforum (although i had to have dan make it, since
i'm not allowed access to do anything beyond administer it)...

at no point did *anyone* on admin officially disband admin...

theforum was formed for planning, not day-to-day administration of evolt.org...

and there, folks, is the fundamental flaw...

assumptions are being made that are incorrect and generally based on
personal preferences instead of the opinions of others or the facts involved...

these incorrect assertions on your part make your entire argument moot, and
it's a stumbling block to moving forward...
