My new co-workers are fascinated by the emails and phone calls and the whole debacle. I am sure my boss will walk in here eventually and tell us all to get to work. He shows Golden Retrievers and he is VERY interested in this whole mess. I have more friends in the YES list than in the NO list. And for what is worth, we will continue to be friends. This one thing maybe a reflection on them, but until I talk to them and find out their motives, I am not pointing fingers, and since I am not perfect (yet) I am not assigning fault either. I am more irritated at the club, as an organization, for allowing the board to be caught unprepared. Whether it was this board, the previous one, or 100 years ago. I know the list get maligned because the passionate tone discussions take, and some people are truly out of control............BBBBBBUUUUUTTTTTT I am thankful that we get to exchange ideas and bring so many issues out in the open. Otherwise we will find out 4 months down the road, and by then, who cares? So, while I disagree with Kris that the best interest of the club was the motivator, maybe it was fear, maybe it was lack of preparation, I do agree with her that we should not use only one vote to judge by. Two, three votes, yes. Not one.
