Sorry the below post was sent too soon before I could proof read and correct
some typos and before I signed it. But I am sure you all got the message I was
trying to relay!

It is Sept 1 .... You can now RANT!
I hope when people vote, they remember all the closed sessions that certain
Board members voted for; remember that we no longer can call in to hear what
our representatives voted for or against and that the majority of current
Board members voted to go against the wishes of the membership and have
thrown out rotation of the National location for the next two years and
perhaps beyond.

Ms Kroh ( can't wait to meet that lady) sent a post to the list today sating
that she received her ballot today and she requested that every one vote! I
responded in my usual lackadaisical manor! I decided NOT to respond the way
I really wanted to! It surly would have been one of my long RANTS! So after
some thought, and some cashews, I have rethought my words and I can now send
them and perhaps tick-off only 50% of the listers instead of my usual 99%.
My impression of secrets is that we use them to protect ourself or some one
else ( sometimes both). Secrets are important, we all have them. But now I'm
gonna tell YOU a secret , but you can tell any one you want! With very few
exceptions ( and I won't go into the exception in this post) when you vote
for someone who represents you, you should be able to know how that person
voted. If not how would you know if the person you voted for shares most or
many of your views and ideas? And if you don't know how these
representatives of yours voted , you don't know which ones to vote for or
against? Talk about a real "catch 22"...now let me move from the general to
the specific! The admin of this list ( the watch dogs) put out a questioner
to all theses running for office last election! Guess what... Only three or
four responded ( those were the only folks I voted for) and it gets worse!
This board ( president) eliminated the member "call-listen-in".... And then
the biggest outrage of all ( okay I'm close to Ranting) the board voted in
secret to move the National ( this is NOT a post about the National
location, it's about voting). If you agree with my simple definition of a
secret , who was the board trying to protect? I think most of us will come
to the same answer! So when WE vote for directors in the next few weeks just
tell me if you can , how will we know who and what we're voting for! I had
one more sentence but it would clearly take this into the RANT stage, so
I'll stop now and watch football! And eat more cashews! The Rant post I did
NOT send was better! Ed Hill
