Hi Belinda; Your comparisons on ballot voting brings up an interesting analogy. I believe that Michael Knapp reported on during the club's annual meeting in Las Vegas, that just over 500 ballots were mailed in for the proposed Constitutional change that was overwhelmingly passed. So putting it all in perspective, only 500+ ballots for such an important club Constitution election issue vs. 100 ballots for a COTY contest tells me where the memberships interests lie. I don't recall reading a big hue and cry for those balloting results on the Constitutional question to be published on any bulletin board, which in my opinion are far more important than COTY. As for my now being an EX-President, as some have rightfully pointed out, I was not aware that I had to relinquish my right to express opinions on this bb now that I no longer hold office in the club. Thank you too for your kind words, Belinda. I did the best I could under the circumstances. Unfortunately, it was not good enough for some.
Warmest regards, Archie
