I think it would be beneficial to let us know if your question is based on support of my run for Secretary, non-support of my run for Secretary or in consideration of a planned candidacy for Secretary by yourself?

If the later, then I can certainly entertain a debate in a structured manner on the Club's Message Board, or in an other santioned on-line chat room scenario as was hosted by member Dan Ferris for the recent Membership Officer Debate.

While I appreciate your vote of confidence towards the appointed position of Membership Recruitment and Retention Committee Chairman, I believe that I have been even more enthusiastic about the Club's elected position of Secretary. And for the record, I also serve as a Planning Committee member, but I think I'm several appointments behind David Spragg who was just appointed as the Planning Committee Chairman.

Anyway, please let us know where you stand and I will be happy to reply in-full to your question.
