Hello Terry,

I already made that decision two years ago. See my article in Fidonews of 28
October.

Look at the 11 year period when I held the FTSC chair...

 TR> There is a process to change them, use it if they are so annoying.

When was the last time a ZC as succesfully impeached?

 TR> It shouldn't be personal and no one should question your sanity.

Thank you for your support Unfortunately the person presently holding the IC
chair makes it a standard response when he is out of arguments. :(


Cheers, Michiel
