The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board--EXPOSED!

The Advisory Board has threatened both me and my ISP with a lawsuit if I were to provide to the project membership the full text originals of the Board-Exec traffic. This is how badly they don't want you to see this material. However, due to a marvelous provision in U.S. Copyright law, I can provide you with redacted versions, with commentary.

The following information represents summarized information from the minutes of the Advisory Board of the USGenWeb Project, legally obtained from the publicly available archives at Rootsweb. The original messages are no longer available at that site and have probably been destroyed by Rootsweb. Thus they are here summarized from the originals for your information; all quotations from the original material are clearly marked and fall under the "fair use" provision of U.S. Copyright law. If you want to see the originals, petition the Board for them. Message ID numbers have been provided to make this easier for you. Material in brackets constitutes of my editorial comments. All the following material represents the personal opinion of this author, based on my understanding of events and on the original material. As always, there are two sides to every coin, and if anyone wishes to clarify or rebut anything below, I will be happy to post it.

Read it and weep.
