I know. Most of us have been here for many years, proposing,
formulating and setting Virus policy and positions and future Virion
actions on a separate invitation-only email list. Membership in the FH
is by invitation only, by already-invited members, and a single 'no' vote
was enough to blackball a prospective nominee or kill a proposed
action or policy. For a long time, this group's existence and the identity
of its members was shrouded in a veil of secrecy, one upon which
Hermit insisted, even when most of the rest of us were in favor of going
public. But it is way past time to lift the "Skull and Bones" veil from this
central cabal, and make its existence and function known to the wider
Virion membership.
