Re: [ga] Stockholm

[Eric Dierker <eric@HI-TEK.COM>]

Since I am officially persona non grata, would someone else please explain to
the GA, the chair and the alt-chair that the alt-chair has no function
whatsoever in Stockholm as long as the chair is in attendance.  This attempting
to get money in order to go there to represent the GA is very close to a
misrepresentation in order to part fools from their money.

Just which of these Meriam Webster definitions does the alt-chair misunderstand;

                     1 : ALTERNATE 1
                     2 : offering or expressing a choice <several alternative
plans>
                     3 : different from the usual or conventional: as a :
existing or functioning
                     outside the established cultural, social, or economic
system
                     <alternative newspaper> <alternative lifestyles> b : of, or
relating
                     to, or being rock music that is regarded as an alternative
to
                     conventional rock and is typically influenced by punk rock,
hard rock,
                     hip-hop, or folk music.

As has been brutally pointed out to me time and time again - I lost the election
get over it - Mr. Alt-chair you lost the chair position and you are now an
Alt-Chair with no authority to speak for the GA unless the chair gives it to
you.

Sincerely,
