RE: [ga] Motion re appointment of nominees for GA chair

[<idno@tallship.net>]

Mr. Gaetano,

As per your request I have removed you from the list of supporters of Andy
Gardner's version of a, "Single Candidate Proposal".

Please note below the post that you replied to which referenced the Single
Candidate Proposal as a particular vehicle for supporting Karl Auerbach as
the only candidate in the nomination process by proxy.

I responding to the quotes with a "me too" you did infer support, although
I acknowledge that this was indeed not your intent.
