Gene and others,
See my diatribe listed as:
GMC Information (was GMCphotos website information)
I'm not trying to create to a controversy. That isn't the intention. The
intention is to get some thought out there.
While I support your points that are well-made, I do see one issue. That is,
what happens when Billy (who has the keys) is no longer able to keep BDUB
going? In the past I asked him if he had a plan just as I asked you. The
response? Nothing. Therefore, I assume there is no plan. We need a
supportable plan just as the distributor of any product needs a plan. The
plan also needs to include a small group of savvy people seriously
interested in the preservation and redistribution of great information.
Social media and individually maintained sites isn't going to do the job. Of
course, we need no plan if there is no interest.
