Chris i was wondering if you could maybe be more specific on how a letter or maybe two in the magazine would be construed as  interference  to the election process. As far as i can see, all it would do is make the readership become more aware of the issues, take a stance either pro or con against the author(s) of such letters and maybe, just maybe become more involved and vote one way or the other on these issues(by-laws). 
By refusing at the last moment to edit letters from membership challenging or questioning if you will, or maybe even agreeing with these PROPOSALS, is just another version of this hush hush theme the BOD promotes and is just another block cemented into the ever increasing wall of tension dividing this club. Why in the world cant things just be aired out in the open and than let the cards fall as they will??  Thanks  and have a great day  Bob
