I am trying to see that the GA CCs get an elected SC at all times, except in cases of resignation. If a term ends it should be filled with an elected SC WHEN that term ends. Period. Secondly, I believe in GAGenWeb first and foremost. USGenWeb is an organization bent on maintaining the status quo of cronyism (the project is actually run from an IRC channel called #usgenweb) which is kept in place by condoning and actually encouraging apathy and laziness in the project's volunteers. Until USGenWeb becomes something to which I can be proud to belong, I will maintain my pride in belonging to GAGenWeb and working to better Georgia genealogy research. >Debra Crosby > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Keith Giddeon [mailto:[email protected]] >Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 2:19 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [GAGEN] BIZ SC election > >Debra, > >What does my argument have to do with what you just stated?
