Micheal: It is true that some members who did not want Jeff Williams on the
committee tried to claim that he could not be verified as a person.  I found
none of the protesters were able to provide any valid reason other than
their personal dislike of the gentleman.

My reasoning is simple, like me.  The committee was open to all members.
Eleven members volunteered to serve.  I have, in fact only spoken to two of
them at telephone numbers published in their name, but I do believe those
two exist as individuals regardless of the name they use.  The other nine
were verified by various methods that were not necessarily any more
foolproof than the conversations that I had with the two.  I merely wanted
to show that the committee was inclusive, rather than exclusive as some
would have it.

I don't understand the fuss you are making. Since Jeff Williams chose not to
participate anyway, your complaint cannot be that he had any adverse
influence on the committee, so I am left with the assumption that you have a
personal reason to send negative mail about the person that so many members
love to hate.

Please justify the statements in your post by showing us all your proof that
Jeff Williams cannot be reached with Restricted mail as you claim.  I have a
mailbox (everyone here does, that's how we get our mail).  I receive regular
USPS mail, Express Mail, Priority Mail, Registered Mail, Certified Delivery
Mail, Return Receipt Mail, Express Mail packages, Priority Mail packages,
Registered Mail packages and any other service the United States Post Office
provides... all to my mailbox address.  Are you sure you are stating facts
here? Or is your dislike of Jeff Williams so great that you are prepared to
pass off wishful thinking as fact?

This is not an endorsement of Jeff Williams, it is a concern that some
members are too free with baseless allegations.
