And with that, I am banging the gavel and ending this experiment of
Rogers's.

Tomorrow I will talk individualy with all the corporate members of the
"board" and ask them to resign.

Rogers may then wish to propose a new structure, one that is
consistent with the "come back to earth" message.

They may wish to join with him, or they may not.

If anyone else decides to join up with him on the terms of the old
"advisory board" I will talk with each of them individually, until
they see that it serves no purpose.

This process will go on until Rogers gets the idea that it isn't go to
work.

I may at some time send him a bill for all of my time that he is wasting.

Good night and good luck to all of you.

Dave
