Evan, I am sorry to hear that you have resigned. I think we need you. You are not unappreciated. Please don’t be bitter. Many people are used to not always getting their way. We win some and lose some but we have to continue to fight on for our views. Please reconsider. How can you quit after fifteen years of struggle? Try to adapt.

Fifteen years of blood, sweat, and digital tears ... totally unappreciated by various people in recent changes to VCF so-called leadership.

Ben, you changed my life for the better when you loaned your Lego robotics kit. I thank you for that.

Anyone can reach me at evan@snarc.net.

Anyone who wants to know why I feel driven out could ask the other "leaders" who think they know better than me.

Basically there is no point in staying if it stopped being fun and too many other people want to fuck with the vision.

Maybe one day I will start a new endeavor.

Evan,

This is horrible news and we deserve a better resignation/explanation then this.

I have no doubt it was a lot of work…

Thank you,

Ben
