Not really. It wasn't a question of technical skill, it was a question of moral sensibility. When you buy a house, you can do whatever you want. Chop down all the trees, sell the lumber, pave it and turn it into a parking lot. That's your right, it's your land. When your a trustee, the land isn't yours. You're merely empowered to make decisions to preserve it for the next generation. Doing so may require making drastic decisions, but you still have to balance the present against the future. Being BYU Web master is a responsibility. The Web site is the public face of the club. In some ways, the Web master is more important than the president. (And I don't just mean as resume fodder.) Years ago the UUG nearly died. One of the most important things that saved it was the new (old) Web site Dave Smith created. To this day I'm still amazed how much difference a Web site made. I don't know who should or will be the new Web master, but I do know that whoever it is, the Web master can do a lot of good or do a lot of harm to the UUG. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
