Isn't this all really about the drama? I just went back and read every single email regarding this subject and not once did I see where Susan was criticized or where there was any negativity expressed towards her at all...in fact every email I read was glowing.....The only issue is whether this list was the appropriate place for some to start up a campaign for her. It seems to me that when these little scabbles happen on the list, it is more to do with personal issues between parties unrelated to the topic at hand. Why else exaggerate and dramatize the most innocent of comments and concerns posted on a list that is meant for people to express opinions. Then top that off with people like me that haven't a clue as to what is going on behind the scenes...throwing our two cents in and you get several days of escalating emails that originated from some minor little issue. JMO of course and I apologize in advance for all the people I might have offended, ticked off, or otherwise created negative energy for in their otherwise sunshiney lives. Cindy PS - the conspiracy theory email was uncalled for...I will give you that.

I don't know who any of the other candidates are but if as some have said there are qualified people out there that decided not to apply because of compliments you received, what can I say, it's their loss and their choice. I don't really understand why all this is being brought up by a select few, over and over again, but the reference to the possibility of an agenda appears to be valid. For some reason these people are tenaciously trying to control our Board from outside the Boardroom. They apparently are privy to information that perhaps they shouldn't be. I would like to tell you a short story that was a 'light bulb moment' for me many years ago. It boils down to CHOICES. I had attended a class at my place of work and one of the films depicted a young lady who had just received her driver's license. She was proudly driving her grandfather to the store for the first time and came up to a four way stop. She stopped and proceeded with caution when from the left a car blew through the intersection nearly hitting her vehicle. For the next six blocks she was fussing and fuming and mumbling under her breath about the incident. Her grandfather leaned over and quietly said, â??Why are you allowing a complete stranger to control your emotions?â?? BINGO! Susan this applies to everyone, if you CHOOSE to allow someone to push your buttons, you are giving your power over to them. Only you control you! No one can make you do anything you CHOOSE not to do. Please don't let the postings to this list get to you. This goes for our Board also. Remember, â??He who angers you controls you!â?? Safe travels to all the Board members and best of luck this weekend. Sincerely, Pat Galambos ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
