We don't make > decisions based on polls. You are entitled to disagree. However, as > Delegates you are not entitled to "Full transparency". No reasonable > business or political organization can operate that way and accomplish > anything. > > Sorry but I am never very good at just telling you what you want to hear, > sarcastically or not. > > Steve Gladstone, > AKC Board, Class of 2009 > > Cross post at will. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
