i assume that i am the "some people" here so i can only answer for myself. first, i appreciate information - from ALL sources. second, i do not nor will i ever understand the quashing of information when, in reality, all those who choose to have access DO have access. third, i don't think a site with just short of 68,000 hits can be considered "obscure" in the oh so small pond microcosm of the world that we GSD fanciers call home; if it is, most personal web sites would probably fall short of even obscurity. fourth, if a candidate feels he or she should "campaign" via a personal web site, that is his/her choice. fifth, these are CANDIDATES for volunteer positi ons in a NFP organization; global security is not at stake here. i never said i was "calling out candidates" for anything at any time. i simply asked why more candidates had not made their opinions, plans, desires known, i happen to know all those running and will make my own decision(s) as to how i cast my votes, decisions based upon knowledge and history. if i didn't know those running, if i were a relative newbie to this game, i would want all the input i could get in order to make informed decisions. as far as "club business" is concerned, i don't hear any official word from the club protesting candidates posting information. good grief, all this for asking, "why only three"? no wonder there is so much dissension in the club and so few want to run for the board. diane Diane Silver-Strasser Silstra German Shepherds _http://skatiebugz.blogspot.com In a message dated 8/24/2009 9:29:20 P.M.
