I have to say that Peter is not the only member of KLUG that
feels this way about Bryan's abusive manner and apparent lack
of boundaries with respect to his KLUG postings.  I can assure
everyone that this matter is being discussed and considered
by the KLUG officers and volunteers.  No determination has 
been made yet but it will be made known when everyone has had
a chance to think this issue through. 

Please be patient as these considerations are reviewed.  Don't
think that no action or solutions will be recommended.  Give
it time and perhaps it will be resolved to everyone's gain.

Peter made his feelings known... others have been being silent,
at least publicly.  We don't want to take up too much bandwidth
with a public debate on the lists about Bryan's behavior.  The
lists are far more important than this.  It will be handled in
a fair and considerate manner.  KLUG leadership will handle this.
Let not all take sides and get into some sort of flame out!  OK?
While we all may appreciate Peter's honesty... lets keep this in
the hands of KLUG leadership for now.   T H A N K S ! ! !
