[amsat-bb] Regarding election results, How many members does AMSAT have?

[E.Mike McCardel]

Bruce,

Who is the “We” you suggest. ORI?
Just to remind everyone one of your previous comments:

“Perhaps nothing indicts the agenda Of “The Team” than This quote from Bruce Perens.
“I am not convinced that I need to spend my time on convincing anyone at AMSAT. At some point it becomes less effort to simply let AMSAT die and carry on the work elsewhere.”“

This seems to be the agenda right along.
Personally I can live in a world with more than one amateur radio group or amateur radio satellite group. Especially when one has an historical records of putting satellites into space and the other doesn’t.
