More untruths

EC MAN and Others

A very good friend of mine happens to have previously been the webmaster of the PFA BB and website.

He DID NOT leave the task as suggested, and is quite pissed off to hear from me that it is suggested he did, and that he left the BBS not working in the process.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.
a)
He left the job nearly a year ago, yes a year ago. Since then the PFA heads had no respect for the BBS and did absolutely nothing about maintenance as he often advised them to do.

b)
He left the task because he and his employees began to lose trust in the PFA finances and whether they would be paid or not. With some significant health concerns he just did not want to take the risk any longer

c)
The BBS went down following a major but shortlived hiccup some time ago - I know because he actually looked at what needed fixing to do it free of charge a week after it failed. He discovered that nothing was wrong - it was switched off!. IT REMAINED DOWN SINCE OUT OF CHOICE. Most PFA staff know this.

I think the company that hosts the bb is someone called Griffin systems, anyone can check this if they wish to - try web search?

d)
He was also an EC member and left because of petty and pointless bickering and behaviour he believed to be corrupt at times - legally so. Some of the stories, particularly around the Trefgarne letter period would make you sick if like me you are a PFA member.

e)
From what I understand there is much that should be looked at, I even considered standing for EC myself. But the EC have some dangerous people that totally drown the good ones.
