Some good organizations have been formed from the ashes of COCA and I wish
them all the best.

I felt is was important for you, as the publisher of BBS World Magazine, to
understand what is what with COCA. I do not feel that the people that run
Pates COCA currently are ethical people with bbsing in mind. In fact I feel
that these people are sick-psycho-wierdos. Their mission statement calls
for it to have NO MEMBERSHIP.  Their listserve is filled with messages
about trademarks and non-profit status. Who they will help is themselves.
I have no doubts about this.  This is my sincere OPINION.

They pulled an organization right from under it's memberships eyes.  I
understand, from their website and listserve, that they have been hit with
a ton of e-mail bombs and other "Loss of Service" attacks.  Apparently they
have pissed off more than just the old members of COCA.

Thanks again for a great read.....
