Re: [atlarge-discuss] a legitimate election?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com>]

Joanna and all stakeholders of interested parties,

  I have little respect for anyone talking out of both sides of their
mouth at the same time, and than having the gall to expound on
principals that in now way is relevant to non-members expressing
their views in an open, straight forward, and direct manner.
Therefore I cannot understand or agree with you Joanna,
admonishing Gary's comment/response or otherwise statement
or Danny's concern regarding the problems regarding the
upcoming election.
