Where did anyone ask him for $100? I think I made it clear that I was only asking for short-term "loan" help from people for whom that amount is entirely insignificant if it gets back to them eventually. > I think my question is: what responsibilities does the Board of > Directors have towards me as a member?

Not to belittle the problem, but I can't help but chuckle at this bandying about of the term "debt" to describe just $5000. I've repeated several times that I will pay for all of this personally if that becomes necessary to achieve harmony. I promise that there will be no extra cost to anyone who asks not to be charged for the Peer 1 fees incurred up to the point when we are ready to move members. Not to mention that every detail about this has been discussed on hcoop-sysadmin all along. If you choose not to subscribe, you should accept not being in the loop. > I will re-iterate my request that we get off the old servers > immediately to make our rental fees on the new ones count.

No. We aren't able to do this without interrupting current services, as the new servers aren't ready. > If nothing else, let us, as a cooperative, put a hard cap on the > amount of money that we will spend paying for a server that we cannot > use.

Because past evidence suggested that we could configure everything quickly, we didn't consider that costs of set-up time would be significant. The issue of whether to configure the servers in colocation that we were already paying for was discussed either here or in hcoop-sysadmin, where you had the opportunity to object and apparently didn't. _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
