I have to agree here. I'm probably closer to "senior citizen" than "senior", but for some reason I'm still on the list :) OK, OK, maybe I'm not quite *that* old yet, but the point stands -- both in the sense that many of us who have long since graduated are still around, and in the sense that there always seem to be plenty of qualified people who are still officially students who can act as club officers. ===== PGP Key ID: 071B173D Fingerprint: ED30 B048 6833 56B4 28C0 CE52 F12B 884A 071B 173D __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
