Well, you're still not answering the question. Doug, I never asked about the
personal finances of ASCAP Board Members and what they do with their own
money, so let's be straight here and not send this question into an area it
clearly never was headed.

The question I originally asked was: to the best of your knowledge, do the
other ASCAP board members fly first class when on ASCAP business.

Since WE, the members, pay these bills, I believe we have every right to
know this information. I could care less about the personal finances of
ASCAP Board members or how they spend the money they make. However, I do
care how my royalty money is being spent by a bunch of guys who for years
have gone out of their way to hide a lot of data about their ASCAP
activities and finances.

I'll now ask you to answer the question again (see above, 2nd paragraph). If
you won't answer, then just say so and I won't ask again.

Thanks,

Mark Northam
