Can you be more specific?

Not really. When I was Region 14 Bulletin editor in the later 90s, I wasted
lots of time looking up names in the printed R&Is and checklists as part of
the proofreading aspect of being editor. At the same time, I was close to
many of the political issues and players within AIS and Region 14. I have
had too many discussions with too many people on the topic of R&I
computerization too long ago to remember specific names.

In your other email just before this one, you made the following comment:

I am a bottom line individual. The 2003 R&I has not been approved for
inclusion in the databases according to your comments. To me, that confirms
pretty much everything I have said of this topic. In addition I heard an AIS
official make an off-hand comment to this effect at the AIS National
Convention in Fresno. And no, I will not attach a name to that comment.
Right now I can join just about any group at an AIS function as long as I
mostly listen. Quoting on the internet off the record comments by
individuals would eliminate that privilege.

You have an easy and ethical way to get even with me and maybe even affect
my opinions on the situation. I volunteered (This is the third time).
