What is exactly going on with this. I realize that life gets in the way but the initial reason that all of this was brought up was due to your inactivity on the board. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to break up the cigars and supplies and list them auction style so we can supply Rod with money to run the show. We're going on 7 months since you've made any statement towards this topic in this thead and the majority have spoken on how we would like the cigars , suppies, and monies dispersed from CPI. With the current inventories of passes that have been going on for years, CPI would have done nothing as far as replacing a pass that something might have happened to. My personal opinion is that this needs to be cleared up ASAP. As you have been caretaker for these things for so long, I would imagine that the cigars have been well taken care of and all should be in fine smoking condition. If not, then when they are grouped together, it needs to be noted that some may be cracked, dried out, etc, which I certainly hope isn't the case since cedar trays and beads have been part of things sent to you in order to maintain the cigars in a good way.. I just feel that since the decision has been made by the members to liquidate the holdings and send Rod the proceeds to help run the site, that this needs to be taken care of in a more timely manner than it is right now. We know you don't agree with the masses, but the masses outnumber you and you need to get the ball rolling on this particular issue so we can do lie the majority feels is the best way to go and that is to liquidate the holdings and supply Rod with some much needed cushion to be able to pay for upgrades and things of that nature because you feel things are fine the way they are.
IMPO everything in the inventory should be in good condition because you took it upon yourself to make sure that the CPI holdings were well taken care of. I also feel that this needs to be handled in a relatively timely manner at this point and not when it just suits you. Don't offer to let someone else handle the dispersement either because of the pressure coming off of getting this done. You have been in charge of this for years, then disappeared for quite some time so this should be something that you handle with dignity and without losing your cool over someone question what is going on with this. There has been ample time since the voting has taken place, so I'm not quite sure why you haven't done anything in the way of following the suggestions of the board as a whole.
