DOA...D.O.A??

[Tom Watkins <dmctom@xxxx>]

Well......I was a member of the DOA back in the late 80's and called a 
DOA official with a complaint about preferential treatment and placement 
of D1 ads. The next day I got a phone call at my office from someone 
threatning "I'll be at your house and beat your head in with a baseball 
bat". No joke.........

While Hank is at it why maybe he can explain why DOA President Gil 
Moreno resigned as President back in the 80's. I'll tell you what Gil 
told me, He quit after decisions he made were overruled behind his back 
by a certain DOA board member. This cannot be denied by anyone at DOA. 
This came straight to me from Gil. The repeated denials of past rude 
treatment by DOA officials is sad to see. Somehow Hank and the DOA 
feel that their "volunteer" status somehow absolves them from listening 
to people who ARE members. Members who have raised issues with the DOA 
are called troublemakers and "how dare you complain, we are all 
volunteers here" DOA does not listen to members complaints.....plain 
and simple, fact not fiction. There are far to many people who have 
tried and are met with the same brick wall of ignorance, rudeness and in 
my case anonymous threats over the phone. You can believe me or not, I 
really don't care. But just try to deny that even a past President of 
the DOA was treated with the same rudeness, disrepect and overbearing 
political garbage that many of us have run into.
