Stussy" Date: 8/30/2004 6:05 AM Central Standard Time Message-id: And who is Dieter Stussy to decide what's "responsible" in the actions of any entity? An interested member of the public - that's all I have to be. Personally, I think you're the guy who can't have his way, so you find ways to be annoying. They WEREN'T listed in the IRS's public charity database, and I verified that when I filed an IRS form 4506-A to get a copy of their last 990-series return. That request came back "entity does not exist" (IRS response dated April 11, 1996). [That also means that they NEVER filed for non-profit status ever.] I then challenged their coordinator status before the NFCC (during its first year of existence: FY 96/97). I could have equally complained to the IRS also at that point, but decided to defer that for the time an appeal of the NFCC decision regarding my complaint to the FCC would be appropriate; the government doesn't like to get involved except as a last resort. Why would they? Ask them. I asked YOU. You expect me to speak for an agency of the U.S. Government (when I don't work for that agency/bureau)? Don't you take the cake. Hey, it's better than the egg you'll be wearing if you do try to follow through on these assinine allegations of yours. You've been trying to beat up Bill Pasternak in this forum for two years without shredding ONE IOTA of VALID, DOCUMENTED PROOF. Proof: He posts his drivel here (in FULL) weekly yet does not participate in this newsgroup whatsoever. Doesn't that remind you of someone. It certainly does for me: A SPAMMER. I don't have to prove it; he proves it for us every week by his actions. NOT "proof". ARN's posts provide a realtively timely and subject-focused insight as to activities going on in the Amateur Radio community. No one said that anything posted here had to be a two-way medium. ARN's posts contain material that is realtive to Amateur Radio on several levels, INCLUDING Amateur Radio policy. All his posts have to do is mention just one passage about any regulatory or legal proceeding ABOUT Amateur Radio, and his "release" is germane to the forum. Nothing but your opinion and some guesses as to what YOU think is "fair" in the operational costs of A.R.N. If you can do better with less, then do it. All his "competitors" do - about 90% less. OK...so YOU go ahead and get the books from ALL the other "competitors", then post a side-by-side comparison as to content, timeliness, accessibility and content and PROVE me wrong. YOU are claiming these other resources do it for less...Prove it. Show us the books...Not just "Dieter Stussy says so..." As for moronic, I refer you back to your other post this same day about approaching the District Attorney because A.R.N., a charitable organization, is sponsoring a scholarship program for kids. THAT is "moronic". If that's what you think, you completely missed the point (again). To repeatedly misclassify an expense as something else is accounting fraud, plain and simple. It doesn't matter that one is "hiding" one worthy cause in another; it is wrong regardless. I've missed nothing. YOU have made a claim of fraud. Personally, I'm getting tired of hearing it, especially since you've NOT provided ONE IOTA of PROOF. PROOF is Bill's books, audited by a reputable CPA or court officer, and then published for public review. PROOF is NOT Dieter Stussy saying it's so. YOU are the one suggesting there is a problem, Dieter, not me. You've created this entire strawman in order to validate your on-going anti-BP crusade. Just because I am smart enough to discover that there is a descrepency and you're not doesn't mean that I am incorrect. I never said affirmatively that I was correct - I'll grant you that. You'd have to. So far you've done nothing but whine and accuse. And so far you've "discovered" NOTHING. You have a very biased opinion as to why you THINK there's a problem, and that's only due to your dislike for one of the persons who runs the program you are alledging to be commiting fraud. I only said that there appears to be an unexplained problem, and I, as a member of the public, have a right (and perhaps even a responsibility) to seek the truth when a tax-advantaged charity is involved. And I say he's been providing this service for years and there's not been the slightest bit of evidence of impropriety by Bill Pasternak, ARN or anyone involved with it. I SAY that you are whining. It's not up to me to "justify" any argument. YOU have not provided a single shred of DOCUMENTED, VERIFYABLE PROOF, let alone "resonable suspicion" that there's ANYthing afoul with the way Bill operates "Amateur Radio Newsline". Yes, there is. AR Newsline's own, recent statement makes that clear. They have classified ALL their expenses as "news gathering" when the scholarship portion isn't. It doesn't cost them "$1k/month to bring [us] the news." It may, when averaged, cost $1k/month for ALL their activities, but that's not what they have historically said. Their statement is wrong, they KNOW it, and they make it for the purpose of soliciting further contributions, thus demonstrating INTENT. Still nothing there, Dieter. The IRS ain't complaining. The FCC ain't complaining. And in better than 20 years of listening to ARN, YOU are the ONLY person I have EVER heard complain about it. Until you've provided something OTHER than your "guesstimated" opinion on what you THINK should be happening, all you are doing is W H I N I N G ! ! ! ! And I am all for creating a grassroots effort to raise funds to give to Bill to retain a lawyer to stop your incessant public slurs. Incase you missed that last line, Dieter, allow me to emphasize it for you (Note: I am not "yelling"...the following is for emphasis only) "AND I AM ALL FOR CREATING A GRASSROOTS EFFORT TO RASIE FUNDS TO GIVE TO BILL TO RETAIN A LAWYER TO STOP YOUR INCESSANT PUBLIC SLURS" |
