Greetings,

The "block UUPA from becoming an IA" theory is growing legs.  The CUUPS
mailing lists have picked it up and are discussing it and asking whether
this was an attempt to push out the pagans as well.

I think that if we (UUPA, corporately) feels there is no truth behind
the "Block UUPA" theory we need to get out there and say so before this
spreads even further.

The jump to the CUUPS lists occurred after a post on The Wild Hunt blog:

I still wish the UUA Board would speak directly to the IA issues they
are trying to deal with.
