sorry, but *everyones* opinion / input is as valid as that of any officer - 
high or low  ... being an officer is a personal choice and to denegrate anyone 
or their ideas / input simply because they choose not to be an officer for 
whatever the reason is not overly honerable

it has been mentioned many times that this (and the other channels) are not 
*official* Ansteorran information channels and i agree that they should not be 
... they are and should remain primarily a realm of the populace to freely 
(within reason) to discuss these and other matters of general interest to us,  
but we as online-populace need somethig better ...

here's a suggestion .. leave these channels as they are and create a 
*official*, topical, moderated, kingdom level channel designed for official 
business and information exchange.  ... if a message is "reasonable" but out of 
scope as designated by moderator (who would be tasked with keeping information 
level high, noise level low so the needed information flows better than here), 
... the message into the populace kingdom channel (this one)

personally, i would like to hear about these things before the fact when i'm 
not able to travel accross the state to attend kingdom business meetings or 
reading about in the black-star when it's alreadt dated information.  people 
complain about other not getting invoilved in the process ... give them 
reasonable tools to do so and maybe they will.
