Jim,
   This post is not directed just to you.  I have seen way too much from board supporters saying &amp;quot;if you don&#039;t like the way things are run then run for office&amp;quot;.   The issue here is the board&#039;s actions and statements not Ed or anyone else running for office.  Many feel that the board has taken very questionable decisions and then has been absolutely unwilling to explain the reasons.  Ed and others are perfectly within their rights to question the board&#039;s decisions.  To follow your logic I&#039;d have to run for President of the US if I don&#039;t agree with him on some point.  
   There will probably be new faces running for HPOCA positions in the future.  However running for office is NOT a requirement to challenge the board and officiers on their actions.
   Oh and yes I am a member of the HPOCA.
