Ruben. I am sooooooooooooooo tired of having to hear about these people
any time the words "Fair Use" is mentioned. I'm sure you'll agree that
there are bigger issues to fight. I sent this notice out to the list
hoping to inform those who would be interested in meeting about the
opportunity to do just that. Nothing more, nothing less. I understand
that you're still pained over your past experiences with Jay and Brett
but do I need to hear it 80,000 times a month?

None of that is going to happen unless people can (at the very least)
meet to discuss these issues without having to tolerate a rant on the
history of NYFU.

Awesome. This is contructive :)
