Molly...God bless you.....but I'm afraid some understand the "politics " of the situation and some do not...Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx To: shadowland22000@xxxxxxxxx, terraf@xxxxxxxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 6:23:14 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: THERE ARE NO GAG ORDERS!!!!! The following is something that Terra posted last evening I think quote """I did not understand the meaning here and tonight I called a member of  the Executive Committee and was told that the Board wanted "one voice" to speak  for the Board.  And who better than the President?"""unquote  In light of that statement and what Morgan refers to below as censorship,  it in fact is just that.  Above you say the Exec members says  they only want one voice for the club, which I don't have a problem with, but  when that voice is controlled by the exec committee, it is in fact a form of  censorship.  Never has the president of this club ever had to have the EC  approve anything that gets put out.  It is not the function of an executive  committee and should not be now. Their purpose is to deal with exigent matters  and BOG and CC's are far from that.  But hey, we have been told there are no gag orders...perhaps we are using  the wrong term.  Molly     In a message dated 8/29/2011 7:23:53 P.M.
