Re: [seedsavers] Guess who has asked to be subscribed to this list.



So,,,even if she DOES report to Amy, and Amy IS a low down instigator.
So what? What can she do to this group. She won't be on the board
here, after all. I mean, we aren't exactly hiding either the fact that
the group exists or what its purpose is. If they really want to know
what's happening here, another rep will just join under the radar.
THEY are going to know what goes on here, and in every other
seed/gardening group/forum on the net. To tell the truth, there is
probably already a rep here. If you turn her down, they will want to
know all the more.

So, just let her in and cultivate good will. Maybe she's a nice
person. Does anyone know that she's not?

By the way, Kent and Diane's son, Aaron Whaley, is still in a
management position at SSE. If Kent has been wronged, then why is
Aaron not showing him support? Just a thought...

Just get all the legal ducks in a row here. For example, I believe I
heard a couple of years ago that Kent had trademarked the phrase "Seed
Savers Exchange" and that he vigorously defended his rights in that
regard. If I am remembering correctly, then the name of this group may
give SSE cause to interfere. As I recall, this was the reason that
certain other groups had to migrate to such titles as "Seed
Conservancy".
