I understand Mike Pechner's feelings about "anonymous" postings, but I also understand that there are often good reasons for this, such as current involvement with other organizations. I would rather be able to hear the input from these people, even if their remaining anonymous is the only way to do so.

I also commend all of these posters for remaining as objective and informative as possible given the potentially volatile nature of the subject. I think it is pretty clear from the context of the postings that they do in fact have knowledge of what they are talking about, yet don't make exaggerated claims to know everything.

Regarding Mike Mangini, I think we can all agree that none of what was Project 2472 or GGRM would have been remotely possible without him. I also think it's clear that those who ousted him don't amount to so much as a pimple on his butt in terms of their abilities to accomplish what he did.
