<BODY scroll=auto class>
<DIV>Al, your enthusiasm and do-ocraticism is great, and Noisebridge is fortunate to have you around. I regret and retract my tone, if you will allow. Sorry about that. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But, I do feel something very major was rushed into, without adequate public discussion of need, space, and money. A $500 item, when NB now has a negative cashflow, seems extravagent. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If NB has $500 to spare, maybe other folks can think of higher priorities, given the chance. Maybe others already have requested items over the past couple years, and were turned down. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I could not even get $10/month for electronics components. Ultimately, what's higher priority, what's more fundamental to Noisebridge: <SPAN id=3ecd3e356dcd4fca8d223bb60b752f6c>electronics components</SPAN>, or lockers?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN id=3fe11a9fe6904137b7e895785cbe8205>
<DIV>I have long supported the idea of a much smaller, fewer lockers, so i can stash my laptop when i go to dinner. But i feel the model you're creating is LONG-TERM storage of personal living items, not long-term storage of hacking projects. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry i feel that way. And i apologize for sounding harsh in my last message. You don't deserve that. </DIV></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
