As I said in #44 above, the process then was similar to what has been going on here but with no vote at the end; pilotbob posted his proposed list after seeing a bunch of others, got some comments back, updated it a couple times and then said "This is it." I wonder if voting on this is actually hurting us rather than helping us. There are times when the democratic process just causes more hassle than necessary...
I couldn't agree more. I'd be completely fine if Tom just came up with a list and that was that, but I'm fine with whatever he wants to do. I've mellowed a lot when it comes to my opinions on the general club. I might still give them but they're not so adamant.
