Right. How dare the people whom we voted to represent us in club-related actions do something to represent us? Let me get this straight -- the elections for UUG officers really ARE just a popularity contest? Or did we not give them the right to make these "autocratic" (as some like to call them) decisions by electing them in the first place? If you have a problem with how they handled things (oh, and I guess I'll explicitly state here that I don't care, and I don't think Mike is as concerned about it as everyone else), don't vote for them in the next election. Sorry, but there's just nothing you can do about Andrew on this one; he's not running. Oh well, you'll actually have to tell him personally. Or just flame him (and the other officers, while you're at it) on the list... --Clint -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
