I don't know. If I was one of the donors, I'd be worried about it.

[EternalVigilance]

Or am I wrong?

Most likely.

[Petronski]

Again, WHERE IS THE FENCE?





Also, it takes three minutes to poach an egg. How long does it take to cook books?

[Petronski]

Your evasions are amazing, but you cannot answer the question:

WHERE IS THE FENCE?

[BigSkyFreeper]

The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps Form 990, Informational Return for Not for Profit Organizations, for calendar year 2005 has been completed and submitted to the IRS.

After an extension.

Given the egregiously false or erroneous reporting—as well as some outright malicious lies about the status of MCDC finances that this organization has endured—the Board has decided that this year and this year only MCDC will emulate publicly-traded company standards and release MCDC’s first year audited financial statements, in addition to the normal 990 documentation.

The shiny object... released "this year and this year only" after an extension to shut down critics.

We note that we are releasing our organizational IRS Form 990 and the additional audited financial statements on deadline, as promised, when promised.

I would hope so, after one extension. 

Our total income was $418,493.00.

And they needed an extension? 

[EternalVigilance]

Obviously nothing will satisfy you, not even an independent audit that found zero irregularities and ratios of fundraising/administration/program expenditures that many nonprofits would love to match. Oh well.

[EternalVigilance]

Folks get extensions all the time. Not surprising for a startup organization.

[Petronski]

You are a liar. Nothing will satisfy me?

Answering the question would do the job perfectly:



WHERE IS THE FENCE?

[BigSkyFreeper]

I realize that, but how long does it take to sit down in front of a computer, fire up Quicken and spit out a financial report that that IRS drools over?

[Petronski]

Craftsmanship is an achingly-slow process.

[EternalVigilance]

Again, I don't know. I'm not a donor to the fence project, so I haven't followed it that closely. But from what I heard, all of those funds were seperate and set aside for building fence. Do you have information that would say otherwise, or just more malicious speculation of the sort that has been blown out of the water by this independent audit and filing?

[BigSkyFreeper]

Craftsmanship is an achingly-slow process.

True. It takes time for a little bit of sandpaper to smooth out rough edges on the finished product.

[Petronski]

You bloviate in the Olympic class, but you cannot answer a simple question:


WHERE IS THE FENCE?

[EternalVigilance]

Again, you're simply ignoring my answer.

[Petronski]

It takes time for a little bit of sandpaper to smooth out rough edges on the finished product.

Some craftsmen use sausage grinders and heavy spices.

[Petronski]

Again, you're simply ignoring my answer.

You have not answered the most important question:

WHERE IS THE FENCE?

[EternalVigilance]

Well, since you obviously don't know how to use Google, go read what they say for themselves:

[Petronski]

Let me know when you find that fence.

[MikefromOhio]

Where is the fence?

Where is the money as put in this story here???

You don't have answers and, as usual, are talking out of your ass.
