General

- I was not the creator of this web site and

---thought it was HP supported

--- a forum for HP members to comment w/o the rest of the island - what is wrong with it as

------- HP management rarely answers unless there is direct engagement: ie face to face with Doug

--------Jeff Smith's presentations are very well done. It is the board's use of them that is in question

- It all started with the presentation of the 10% dues plus the $41.5k for SFG and $31.6K for SC

- There is a surprising lack of HP member written out cry about this; however, talking to many they are against it and think it is a very bad move. ( to put it mildly)

- There have some similar moves in the past, although not as aggressive as this one, and people just talked with their feet. Kept quiet and got out.

-I have had discussions with people that could have paid for all of us and asked why they are leaving. The answer was poor practices will lead to more of the same.

-If nothing else, why is this not a killer strategy for HP sales.

- If I was coming here to purchase and saw those assessments of the above magnitude - I would not purchase

- The thinking of the strategy needs to be explained before anyone votes.

----To me with our debt level we have to pay for the musts i.e. roads and put the wants off until our debt level is considerably less than it is not.

- would like comments of this
