Ken - you must pay closure attention to what's going on.  We've been
discussing rules of proceedure i.e. Robert Rules of Order and Mark's
proposed rules.  Recently the NC under Harald tried doing the funny dance
step - which is not going down very well.

Rules first - then chit chat.

It is dangerous to take a bull by the horns.  Goring can be such a violent
episode - don't you agree.  When taking a bull - it is best to take it by
the balls/testicles, much easier to control a bull that way.

Right now were working on rules, and a few parties like Mark are loosing
the fight.  I call on them to get back in again.  There are workable
solutions and I intend to see them implimented.

Ken.  A drop in the proverbial bucket.

Go right ahead with the travesty.  I'm ready.
