Roeland and all,
There is no doubt that the ORSC has been pretty fair and level headed
in general with its position(s) from the very start ore it's conception,
and fairly reserved as well However it is also true that there have been
many "Position Switching" stances that the ORSC has taken that are
at times confusing depending on what perspective you are coming from.
I would also point out Roeland, that you on occasion has stated to me
some sever reservations privately regarding the ORSC and in particular
Stef. Political posturing has been the mantra of the ORSC, which is not
necessarily a bad thing, in fact it has healthy benefits IMHO. But there
seems to be a disconnect form what ORSC purports and what Stef is really
willing to DO! And this may be where Kent is having some problems. If
so I must say that I share that feeling with Kent.
