Sorry, Steve, they are elected. And, as such, they have an official position: the position is called "committer". As they say, "I couldn't spell, but now I are one". Remember, you are one: elected and having the official title and power. So you all are elected officials so far as I can see.
But, hey, you "committers" are like Popes, ten thousand times as big as us, always hanging out windows and wavying, scaring your moms to death, and so we wouldn't have a clue about what an elected official is or is not by "pronouncement". We have to think it through and there is where we get into trouble. You just say it: "... committers are not elected officials..." and our job is to believe it. Sometimes the level of thinking around here is numbing, dizzying. If a person that is elected to an official position is not an elected official, who is? <wah> On 3/17/06, Steve Raeburn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This might be getting to the heart of why we see the responsibilities > differently.
