I'm not going to get terribly emotional about this email message in which
you drag my name through the mud.
The trophies, wine and certificates exist. Altough I am not involved with
the CQP, I'm guessing the problem has to do with distribution. I received
mine and promptly sent a thank you letter to the out-of-state donor, KI3V/7.
I did receive a call from AJ9C a couple of months ago and tried returning
his call a few times with no luck. I never received a return call back.
I understood that Mike had never received a copy of the *results*, not that
he hadn't received his booty. I asked the powers that be in the NCCC to
send Mike another copy of the results. I have *never* heard a peep out of
you on this matter until now, and you have been able to send me email 24
hour a day for months. SO WHAT GIVES?
There is an NCCC meeting on Friday and I plan to attend. Even though I
have absolutely nothing to do with the CQP (except that I operated last
year), I would be perfectly happy to bring this matter up Friday with
those people who are. Please send me a private email message if you
would like me to take this action, otherwise I will leave it to you and
the CQP people to sort this out among yourselves.
