He didn’t copy all the directors either, I had to receive second hand also. My opinion is your time is spent better elsewhere. Whatever you send him he will use for ammunition in another message. Someone else noticed some of his references are a little dated. While he takes shots at you, his references are to statements made by previous CEO’s.

YQ seems to be the kind that will never let up, and IMHO the less ammunition you provide in a reply, the better. Also, YQ did not cc all the Vice directors in his letter, so some may be curious what the hub bub is about. I received it second hand so do not feel it appropriate to share myself.

It is key to my success, and ultimately the success of ARRL. I firmly believe that. I have read the diatribe many of you received from Dave Bernstein, AA6YQ, regarding LoTW. I have authored a private response to him – which I have not sent – but if you were to read it, you would conclude that it is firm and brutally honest. So here’s my question: how do YOU take Dave’s soapbox rants and self-aggrandizing, especially when it comes to attacking the CEO (who he did not copy on his rant)? Do you feel it is something worthy of me attempting to manage, or have you (like many) given up on him as a lost cause and feel that I should just ignore his feedback? I’d really like to have him as a resource, but I am struggling with his complete and sustained inability to collaborate and his non-factual statements used to further his inflexible points of view. This is an important issue because creating a collaborative environment with members is everything to me. And it is something that must be managed.
