Hi Gloria: It was neither a threat nor a promise. I was only mulling over in my mind the options of those who felt strongly enough to vote for a change. It is up to you as CCs and SCs and RCs to try to reform your state infrastructure so these CCs do not feel the vote was a waste of time. It is not enough to just say "OK, show's over - go back to working on your web sites" without trying to reach some sort of resolution of those issues that started the recall in the first place. --- Gloria Holback <gholback_1999@yahoo.com> wrote: > Not a very nice thing to say, or was it a threat? > The next time these 35 > vote, it may be with their feet. > > > Joy Fisher <sdgenweb@yahoo.com> wrote:OK, I have > been here for 13 days, and I'll probably > get myself unsubbed, but I have bit my tongue long > enough. > > I have belonged to many, many state lists over the > years and I will have to say I have never seen so > much > hateful, disrespectful mail as I have seen on this > list.
