Sorry to rain on certain members parade but I'm here, with or without an invitation!

"Another thing that has struck me as strange recently is the fact that some of the board members definetly have vested interests and it is my opinion that if you have a commercial or vested interest in the organization that you in fact should not be setting on the board because there is no way you can be impartial.
For example, Amy Goldman, a woman with no agricultural background so to speak, who has written a couple of "martha stewart-esque" books while evidently using the SSE seed bank as though it were her own personal seed bank. Another member that irks me is the guy from Johnnys, don't get me wrong, I think they are a great company, but what is the owner or even a board member of a seed company doing setting in on the board of a not for profit seed bank which has much interst in keeping corporate greed and PVP plants out of the hands of big agriculture?"
Yeah, Alan. In the corporate world this is known as a "Conflict of Interest" and would not normally be tolerated.

This message from Lavandula obviously refers to Lee's first post ever at SSE forum where he announces the 2008 Tomatopalloosa event. Okay, what Alan should do, if he so desires, is to create a Web page advertising an event at or hosted by Bishop's Homegrown Produce in Pekin or Salem, Indiana, or wherever ... then post "other links of interest" at the bottom of the notice EXACTLY the same as Lee posted links to Tomatoville, etc. at the bottom of his notice. No big deal. Bill |
