The LNC also wrote Mary Ruwart:

"..During George's tenure as Chair, I did not receive one update from LPMA. [#4 UNTRUE]..."

For the actual state of affairs, read below the fold:

#4) Kraus complains that we never sent him updates. That's simply not true. I give three examples, labeled A-C

Here is Correspondence Segment A in natural time order. Note, by the way, that some of these ISPs have been out of business for years. Most of the 200+ email addresses have been deleted to save space, but I can forward if there are doubts. After all, they are all invalid.

MESSAGE A-1
From: George Phillies [mailto:phillies@4liberty.net]
Sent: Friday, February 08, 2008 12:14 AM
To: Robert Kraus; David W. Roscoe
Subject: Invalid Emails
The following emails from the latest dump are all invalid. They are from active or lapsed members (not dropped members) in Massachusetts in the latest dump. Please see if they can be removed from the data base so I do not get swamped with returned messages again. Incidentally "mediaone" and "atbtbi" no longer exist as URLs, and your email addresses with those parts are invalid.
A long list of email addresses followed.

MESSAGE A-2
Mr. Kraus's Response to me follows. Note that his statement here about email messages contradicts his statement in his memo to Ruwart.   Kraus wrote:

Sorry,
I can not remove them unless the entire address record is submitted to me as a change (see procedure attached) so I can import it. Even if I had an intern work on this list one at a time, it does me no good without at least member id numbers.

I have my email system set up to ignore those types of email message returns thus, they do not clog up my in box. I believe Shane's email program he uses for our promotional emails automatically removes those emails that are no longer valid, however we have no way of re-importing those back into RE.
Thanks!
Robert
Robert S. Kraus - Dir of Operations

MESSAGE B: And here is yet another correction, a resignation from the party as forwarded to Robert Kraus on June 13 2008 at 10:57 AM

Subject: Membership in LP
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:06:22 -0400
From: REDACTED
To: Arthur Torrey <arthur_torrey@comcast.net>, George Phillies <phillies@4liberty.net>
Dear George,
Thank you for everything you are doing for liberty in Massachusetts.  You are truly a beacon of liberty here in New England. Unfortunately, due to the nomination of an extremely anti-gay presidential candidate, I must resign my membership from the Libertarian Party, effective immediately. I will continue to petition for the LPMass, with the note that doing so puts only Phillies/Bennett on the ballot and not Barr/Root.
Thanks again for all of your work,
REDACTED

MESSAGE C: And here is the front piece of a long list of updates to the LNC press email list:
