How about explaining exactly how Thom got the ZCC to do his bidding?
You really are pulling at straws on this one.  As for the Policy
thing, Thom said right from the beginning he was not in favour of the
way it was.  No suprise there at all.  As for sowing dissention,
sorry, he is not doing any such thing.  He was simply discussing
things with a group that advocates it.  I personally think they
should.  That region is much too big, and it SHOULD be a disctinct
zone.

If you really think that Thom would do whatever to Ward, to the
detriment of Fido, then you need to shake your head.

Openly.  If nobody had mentioned that link, very few would actually
know about it.  You and David M have made it stand out so 'openly'.
