Would that include children... I have a large family... that would be more votes... <grin>.
I would put it like this. If someone had a problem with the votes, they should have voiced the pay vote issue before the election. This is not anything new. Personally there are some things about the government that I have voiced also. If not being able to vote without paying ticks your clock... how about the eternal status of the immortal committee? But, hey, America isn't a perfect government either. Let's move forward rather than dragging our feet and killing something good. Maybe we can with such a board even deal with the immortals. <grin> And how about smiling a few of you guys! John >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/01/02 12:18PM >>> God bless Democracy. I believe anyone should be able to vote. Period. But you are creating a cast like system of sorts by only allowing paying members to vote. Perhaps a level of voting value should be placed higher on "official" members. 1 point for non-members 2 for members. But I don't know if that is even a better solution. And yes, let's please take this discussion elsewhere if possible. -----Original Message----- From: Lee Foster [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 11:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: fusebox council I feel the same as Alan in that I've peeved too many people off as well. I can't vote either because I'm too poor and trying to make it one day at a time. But no matter who is elected each of us do make some change in one way or another to the standard somehow. Our environment will never be the same no matter what anyone may say in a general standard. For example, I use "request.maindsn" verses "request.dsn" for my main DSN pointer. Why you ask? Because there are times where I may have more than one datasource I may need to use and this helps me keep them separate. Is this still fusebox? Yes. Does the Fusebox council care? No. The only thing the council has done that I have remote problems with is those silly e-mails about what is or isn't allowed on the list that I've gotten twice. Trust me I don't lose a lot of sleep of it because it isn't worth it. So I'm asking you as a fellow developer rludyk let it go. Fighting over this will not solve anything. All you are going to do is peeve too many people off and for what. There isn't anything here to be gained. Just let it go man; I'm begging you. Let it go.

I think I've peeved too many people. Really though, I think the FB Illuminiati consists of ordinary folks who do this FB stuff as an aside to their daily foraging for sticks and berries and wild roots for subsistance. There is no guarantee that every move they make will be perfection. Hey, I'm just glad that somebod(y|ies) has bothered to carry the FB effort this far at all! But hey, if one of the Illuminati wants to go through their PayPal receipts, they will see I've ponied up some cake, and I wanna vote!
