Rick -
I think you're being very gracious. At the risk of being acccused of making personal attacks, I will say that my personal opinion/perception is that there are certain individuals who are chronic complainers. I would be curious as to how many of those make half as much effort toward being part of a solution as they spend with unproductive complaining.
I have a personal list of those I believe have nothing better to do than complain and are rarely if ever part of a constructive solution. I would go so far as to suspect some of these individulas do not even wish AMSAT-NA to succeed. I delete BB-directed messages from such individuals without ever reading them. Sorry, but that's just the way it is...

Luc,
I am glad you care enough about AMSAT's future to pay attention to events as they unfold. It appears that you have misinterpreted recent events, however. AMSAT's engineering department is undergoing a reorganization that we hope will allow us to better focus on the results our members have been looking for and improve cooperation among the development teams. There is nothing sinister going on at all.
AMSAT members will be getting more detailed information through the Journal and the engineering mailing lists in the coming days and weeks.

As usual AMSAT-NA is keeping the crowds unaware and uninformed on AMSAT-BB and on purpose...NAMASTE and EAGLE project are from my point of view literally dead! For those who are still believing on a HEO made by AMSAT-NA forget it they "HALTED" NAMASTE et fired out the EAGLE team leaders
Here is some e-mails exchange...
It seems obvious now that AMSAT-NA projects are collapsing NAMASTE is dead and EAGLE PROBABLY WILL BE HALTED TOO????? SEE BELOW THE FULL EXCHANGE AND PLEASE READ THE THREADS ON: http://amsat.org/pipermail/namaste-dev/2008-July/thread.html
Here is an excerpt moving around the "Super duper" AMSAT-NA president on the NAMSATE reflector
At this time, all group leaders on the Eagle project are relieved of their leadership duties.
