Ok, since Justin and Seth have seconded my motion, I move to
vote on the officers.

Further, I move to count "Nay" votes only and IF the "Nays" exceed
say 10, we'll have a full "Aye/Nay" count. Let's see if we can get the
nominations qualified and officers confirmed by Thursday and take addional
steps when we meet.

There is a question by some on the BSD/GPL "issue". Let me clarify MY
position. When we re-formed the group, the purposes was to promote Linux
and educate ourselves and help others "cath the bug". Some of us have 
used the group as a vehicle to pronote BSD, GPL and various & sundry
non-Linux topics, goals and left-wing liberal agendas. IMHO this is not
what we're about and if YOU want that then a) go to those existing groups,
b) form a new group or c) we'll splinter and form a new group. In the case of
"c", the name, basis and purpose of ELUG should remain to promote Linux
and assist the community generally where Linux is concerned, NOT to pump
the GPL thing, wave the BSD banner, etc. Those things DO have a place in
our group, but the are not central to our basis and purpose, nor should they
be promoted to the point of splintering the group or watering down the basis
and purpose.

So......may we continue with the elections?
