OK Karen, for starters, ISAC was built and set up as a non-profit organization, not a website. The website was an extension of the corporation. Please put that into perspective at this time. One compliments the other. Without the corporation, there is no site. If someone wants to use the info, they'll have to have a place set up for it and we will have to spend the time it takes getting everything sorted out, transferred, etc... It's already almost August...
I know how ISAC was began Bill. I remember the history. I also know about the impressive budget in the early days, where it came from and what was accomplished with it. I know why it dried up. I know that since then, the Action part of the corp had to be drastically scaled back. I am perfectly aware that 200 here and 100 there and 20 or 10 now and again can not begin to replace what was originally available. I am also sensible of the fact that Shelby needs to be paid for her time. I understand this and would never suggest otherwise. I realize that unfortunately, getting paid for her time means working at something besides ISAC b/c ISAC just doesn't pay. I'm also aware that various dynamics shift and change adding extra pressure on time and resources. I understand. I really do.
I also get that being as ISAC was set up to be an Action group, maintaining an in-active web site strikes you guys as a no go situation. This is the part I have trouble understanding. I view this as being needlessly rigid. If there is some insurmountable reason why the web site has to go off-line b/c ISAC is no longer an active 501-C3, I am unaware of it.
It seems to me this is mostly about wanting perfection and not being able to settle for what can actually be instead - and so having nothing. In my view, what you had was an invaluable resource and an achievement to be seriously proud of, even if you never touched it for up-dating again. I find it baffling - bizarre even - that you could want all that work just gone. I'll never understand this Bill, no matter how you or Shelby try to explain it. This I just don't understand.
Still, it is up to you guys.
You were ISAC - and the web site was the product you produced - so it is yours. I respect this fact more than you might imagine.
If I have been a nuisance with my BMW like behavior, all I can do is ask you to try and understand its the result of the great value I place on what you had accomplished and my grif that it is gone. I am trying to get back into the mind set of accepting it is no more and I won't be bothering you about it any further.
Clearly I need to get myself a life of some sort so this shit doesn't bother me so bad. I'll work on that.
