I really cant understand how you can call debating a proposal as interference. A proposal is nothing more than a "Plan", in this situation set forth by a by-laws committee. After the committee finsihed its job, the first thing they did was request to have the by-law forum LOCKED. I really dont even know why they had that forum in the first place, because everybody who participated had to sit back and have their ideas shot down almost instantly for this reason or that. 
There was a lot of great ideas and im not sure, but i dont think even one of them was incorporated.                                                                  What they should of done was begin to prepare a flyer to go out with the next magazine identifing all the changes and new proposals to the members so they could have time to digest them and decide how they wanted to vote. Anything less is just plain cheating the members of an educated vote. If these rules and by-laws were genuinely meant to better the club and benefit the members, as they are suppose to, that procedure would be a gimme.                                                                              Now Andy tells me yesterday in a PM it aint fair to discuss the changes because it wouldnt be fair to members who dont have computers and havent been following it for the past few months.                                   Well im sorry they invented the computer Andy, now you can only snowball 5900 of the members instead of the 6000 or so.  Interference is the perfect word for this situation Andy, you just didnt apply it properly.  Thanks Bob Cook
