Gary, welcome to the site. I know nothing about your group but what is on this thread. It seems to me you've answered questions asked openly and honestly. I'd just recommend ignoring any of the personal posts as you've mostly done. I used to get involved in some of them and it never produced a good outcome on any public forum. Not everybody is gonna agree with every idea but it seems like you are trying to do what you feel is right and I respect that. Good luck in your ventures.
