Re: [ARSCLIST] well, this might explain why so many sonic treasures languish in government warehouses
Followup -- this guy quit today. Maybe some cash was just freed up for the Smithsonian to do actual
preservation now.

This guy is allegedly a "public servant." He should be fired and the office put under very strict
oversight, with the executive budget cut to the bone. Someone wanting to get rich and live like a
CEO doesn't belong in charge of the Smithsonian, or the LOC or any other government institution.
Such jobs are not for those in it for the rich and famous living large life.
No wonder so much audio material in the hands of the Smithsonian will never be conveniently
available to the public (public = owners and funders of said museum). Disgraceful!
