Statistics are fun! You can manipulate them to mean almost anything. In
this case for example you could also say that 1/4 % of the membership (the
voting Board members) voted against 10% of the members. I'm always very
leary of stats for just these reasons.

You are a good guy for the numbers..... If 324 members signed a petition,
24 members wrote letters to the membership chairman, against Hunte's
application, that would be 348 people against Hunte, there are about 3400
members in
the GSDCA, so those that objected to Hunte represents about 10 percent of
the
membership. There were 17 votes at the Executive meeting, 9 yes, 8 no. 10
percent would be 1.7 of the voting board members present to represent the
10
percent that filed a complaint. Would that mean that the membership was
handsomely represented by the board with nearly 47 percent of the board
voting
against and 53 percent voting for?
