3)  You are 100% right, but I'd like to explain _why_ I'm scheming


I agree with you completely where you wrote: "iNation can only succeed if
its citizens are informed rather than being manipulated."  But at the same
time, that isn't as simple as what it sounds.


There were multiple reasons why I said I'm "not at liberty".



But what I should have said, in my previous e-mail was the following:


"I received an invitiation, from Ms. Kimberly S. Stevenson, to 'chat' on the
phone next week.  I'll believe it when I see it, but I have no reason to
doubt her.  She's followed through on things she said she would in the
"past"

Plus, we're
dealing with IBM, one of the most private corporations in the world, as far
as how they work internally.  Plus, when I first wrote Mr. Gerstner last
September,

Try to look at it from my point of view, Leif...  A year ago this time, I'd
just started lurking on the various Internet forums and listservs.  This
past year, I've been writing you all, frequently, and writing some of the
top executives in IBM.  To say I'm out-of-my-league here, well...  that's a
hilarious understatement...  I'M REAL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS SITUATION I'M
IN...    But I do it anyway, because I firmly believe it's my duty....


What do you mean: "not at liberty" ?
Is the scheming going on behind the scenes?
iNation can only succeed if its citizens are
informed rather than being manipulated.
