RE: [ga] On Elections

Sotiris and all,

  I could not agree more with sotiris's remarks.  Unfortunately
Mr. Dierker and Debbie seem to be Censoring willy-nilly.  That's
hardly creditable.  The chair is supposed to bend to the will
of the members, not the other way around.  He/she, the chair
is accountable to the members.  Mr. Dierker as chair has not
been so accountable IMHO.
