[Edit]Mr V. When I created the quote below (from your earlier post), I wasn't trying to accuse you of making excuses, or otherwise substituting my words/thoughts for what you wrote. I'm sorry if it appeared that I was. I was instead noticing that you wrote that you believe other folks are making excuses, and that you said you were making a couple of assumptions. I hope that clarifies that I was trying to be accurate, not put words into your mouth.
And... Now it's time to obey both the spirit, and the letter, of Jessica's wise advice.[/Edit]

Hmmm.
You do know that you can contact the folks who currently are doing their best to guide MN FRC into an improved future, right? They can tell you what is underway, etc. What you wrote seems to convey that you haven't spoken to them yet about these topics.
After a conversation, you probably won't have to characterize any official statements as excuses (you might disagree with their conclusions, but that is different from labeling something an "excuse"); and you probably won't have guess about their relationship with FIRST HQ; and you can probably get answers to replace assumptions.
Doesn't that sound like a useful thing to do?
