Now do you understand what I mean when I tell you your posts are too wordy, scattered, and lack focus?

No.
What I see is a guy who can use a highlighter and has no interest in discussion the underlying issues. Standard Carl misdirection. The items in you red-herring'd are pertinent to the discussion of money.
The legal bill owed to SSM&P is an issue as the DPA dues structure and finances require accurate accounting. We're going on 3+ years here with a lawyer who hasn't delivered his final bill because certification hasn't happened. The DPA finance logs show that they've spent about $6K so far but that's only part of the eventual contingency bill. A transparent finance record would also list liabilities. If there's an outstanding balance that could be collected, then it needs to be shown in the finance logs because the finances were claimed to be enough to finish this.
There's a constant harping on here about 6 figure ALPA "secretaries" that will go away with DPA, yet our closest guess as to what comes in it's place is USAPA and they have 6 figure communication employees per their LM2. I'll go pull more LM2s from other independents but I'm sure they all have some employees that make what the market dictates.
I am interested in the second law firm on the DPA books because we're now talking about multiple law firms on retainer prior to a vote. Neither works exclusively in aviation matters or even labor matters.
