Ahem....at great risk to myself I must ask the following question....

Why are people acting on these lists as tho' the BoD's actions a week or so
ago were sneaky, unannounced, unprecedented, and without taking into
consideration the thoughts and wishes of the general population???(not just
this one-the reactions around the Known World seem to be about the same).

I saw and read this months ago.  I noticed the announcements in the TI and
in the kingdom's newsletter.  People on these very same lists talked about
it, gave the URL for comments to be made, urged others to comment.  I sent
in my comments and appreciated the people for posting the URL so I could do
so.  The page is dated *February* and comments were requested through
*June*.  That's *5* months of asking.  How long do they have to ask before
they can act, folks???

In the notes of the gentleman who posted about the BoD's meeting, he noted
that the BoD received some 500+ comments and noted this was a *record number
of responses*!!  500 out of 24,998 members.  If you figure about of 3rd of
those are kids that still leaves 16,665 adults.  500/16665 = only 3% of the
populace responding!  And this is a record????  Some record!!!

I, for one, think that some folks here and around the known world need to
take a deep breath and calm down.  All of the folks expressing such great
concern, outrage, and ideas on how to fix it need to look into their sent
mail folders, clean up their posts (if necessary) and forward them to the
BoD.  Once again, here are the places to send your comments.

comments at sca.org

and for Ansteorra's Ombudsman-Beth Morris (KISA Keilyn FitzWarin)

bmorris at iamdigex.net

Her mundane address is: 13402 Vandalia Drive, Rockville, MD 20853.

I'm sure they would love to see your ideas...some of which have been really
good.  Remember, what the BoD did last week is *still open to commentary*!!!
So send your comments to them!  I did and the lightning hasn't struck me
yet!

But posting them here doesn't do a dang thing.  Some board members are
possibly lurking on a number of boards, testing the wind so to speak.  But
they can't be everywhere and unless you put it to them in writing in those
areas, *they can't act on it*!!!  They have to act like they never saw that
stuff.  Sounds silly but its the legality of the situation.

Please, **Please**, ***Pretty PLEASE***, write to the BoD like Mahee did.
*Give* them your ideas, opinions, comments!  They have nearly *begged* us to
do so.

And 3% of us responded.
