<DIV>I too was at the Officers / Business meeting. I heard nothing out of
the ordinary. I am still not sure what the apology is about. The
more input the better as far as I am concerned. I believe the Baron,
Baroness and Seneschal feel the same. </DIV>

<DIV>There are not many in the Barony that will state their opinions stronger
than I. Passion for our group is not an unusual trait for individuals
in Raven's Fort. Occasionally the Raven must caw.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> First off, it's called "Business Meeting"
and not "Officers Meeting" for a reason. The whole of our populace is
invited, and thus free to make their voices heard. As one of the
officers at the meeting, I don't think there was any problem nor reason to
apologize. We were tossing around ideas and concerns, so it was the
proper time to hear yours.</FONT></DIV>
