Re: [ga] Re: Roeland's Motion

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

It is my humble opine that you people either speak up now or we shall face certain
goneness.

I shall continue in my limited roll as consensus builder and outreach expediter.
but without input Mr. Williams and Walsh and Younger and Meyer and Hernand and
Morfin and Dassa will not get their needed motion and umph through.

Please dotcommoners stop watching and start voting.  Right here and Right Now.

May the equinox find you prepared for cold and looking forward to shorter days,

Eric
