\nYou can hear Lofton recite much the same laundry list in\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\nthis video LAKE already posted of the 21 Dec 2010 VLCIA board meeting<\/a>,\nstarting about 3:50 in.\nI remarked on that \na week ago<\/a>; I guess Lofton didn’t read that one.\n

\nAlice sums it up in this Dilbert strip Scott Adams\nposted the day after that VLCIA board meeting:\n

\nYou know, one problem for VLCIA of\n\nnot posting videos of their own events on their own website<\/a>\nis they lose control of their messaging, instead having to resort\nto unannounced speeches where they don’t expect any critics to be present.\nCritics like these back at the VLCIA 6 Dec 2010 “Forum”.<\/a>\n
