To anyone who may care.

I made Joe public - (as one gentleman referred to himself) - aware of some INCORRECT information on the Amsat-NA satellite status page.

I *DID NOT* critisise any particular individual - (though one member of the b.o.d. took it upon himself to accuse me of embarrassing HIM and that *ALL* my communications were criticising Americans and Amsat.

That is simply not true.

I pointed out some INCORRECT information.

Those are are the FACTS ... nothing other was implied.

If that gets me excommunicated - then so be it - it may well be time to leave the organisation to the new blood.

There is a VAST difference in 'constructive criticism' (for the good of all), even if it is satirical and intentionally tongue-in-cheek ... and the intentional tearing down of someone elses efforts - (which I have NEVER done) - at least certainly not intentionally ... (and I would like the benefit of the doubt).

Best wishes to those older friends who used to enjoy my contributions.
