You are reading a lot of emotional content into my statements that is not meant to be there, and you seem to be reading my statements as being that of the board. I am stating as myself what I thought the events and arguments were and it is quite clear that I was wrong in what was recorded. 1) If we said it was a 1 year term once the CWG was ratified, then it is a 1 year term and any talk of disbandment, replacing, reforming etc is out of place. 2) I am sorry that my memory is crap and I seem to have opened up another crapstorm here. I won't be running for the board again and I won't be asking to be appointed to it either. -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
