Interpretation of the statement aside what I find interesting is that this sort of news and subsequent discussion is not happening on this list. Surely the whole point of having a central point of focus is that all information should be here. Do I need to subscribe to QRZ.com now to find out what's going on in the world of AMSAT?
Why aren't the various BoD people giving regular updates here for us all to see?

This is incredibly misleading and distorted. The VP of engineering said no such thing. In fact if you take the time to actually read his statement he offered to share information if someone wanted to dig deeper. He did say that current engineering priorities were “focused on Golf”. This is a far cry from saying he couldn’t be bothered with the failure of AO-92. You can look it up and read it for Yourself.
People, please, do your fact checking and don’t be mislead by distortions of the truth.
