That was a long time ago. 7 or 8 of us did a group chat with a former early straight board member. What was learned was that the person didn't know much about the techniques being used, didn't understand anything other than the seed "worked" and the seed was gone, and that pinellas needed something to replace it.
This board member also resigned within 10 months because, while Sembler didn't start the straight, he was taking over with his personality, and seed like abuses were taking place in spite of the promise that the straight would "Take the good and not the bad" from the seed.
There is more but nothing shocking was learned other than the personal feelings of the former board member.
