Re: [ga] Icannatlarge.com - conflict of interest

Again, and for heaven's sake, how many votes would ex-BoD members have?
Just as many as there were ex-BoD members who joined icannatlarge, no more.
If the cumulative membership (now passing 100) were unable to avoid electing

an ex-BoD member to office, if that is what it fears, then the organization
would
probably deserve what it fears to get.  As Abel Wisman says, "it is the vote
of
the majority that makes a decision not the individual."
