... Charles' original position (since modified anyway), Neal. You quoted only the first sentence. In full, he said:

>> Finally, should this amendment pass, I will not comply. I will not
>> close the door to the NY Metro Chapter to anyone for reason of
>> membership in the CC>CC. Instead I will ask the membership if
>> they would like to remain a chapter of the CC>CC and elect a new
>> president or if we wish to drop our chapter membership and become
>> the NY Metro Gaming Collecting Club.

The key part of this is the last sentence. Charles did NOT say he would defy the club on the issue; rather, he said he would ask his members what they want to do (either elect a new president who would presumably enforce the new rule) or drop out of the club as a group and form a new club. Neither approach is dishonorable. ----- jim o\-S
