I am utterly appalled by Wizard Marks' revision of "history" below. David was a long-term rep on this issue, and came back with brief reports that were hardly capable of being "biased." On at least one occasion, he did present what had been discussed about the pros and cons of different ideas - but presenting what has been discussed, and the effects on Central's map, is not "bias."
David's history of the representative changeovers is entirely correct - and in fact can be traced blow-by-blow through the past central-chat/cnia-chat email messages! (They're archived by yahoogroups.com.) It's time to quit with the character assassination. I don't usually get hot under the collar about a debate of one person't "version" of history versus another's, but this is pretty extreme. David is right - it's time to apologize and cut it out. Her last retraction, after posting a "juicy" story about a certain candidate, was what - only 2 weeks ago?
