Question to the candidates:  Could Jamie and Phil please state in 100 words
or less how it would benefit grex if they were elected to the board?
Comment:  I wish to point out that M-Net is continuing to exist despite the
odds and this is probably due to a great deal of devoted work on the part of
M-Net staff, who are doing a great job on hardware and software there.
Are Jamie or Phil in part responsible for the technical aspects of M-Net, and
might one or both of them be more interested in serving as Grex staff rather
than board members?  (Sorry, I am not up on the details of who is doing what
at M-Net, even though I have a paid membership there because I like using
their faster hardware for browsing.)

If you lose, it won't be because Grexers have "hatred for all things M-
Net."  It is embarrassingly obvious that many "mnetters" have hatred 
for all things Grex, and have so for may years, but you will search 
Grex in vain for anything of that magnitude.  What you will find is 
that mnet and "mnetters" are mostly ignored on Grex.  (I, of course, 
have fun tormenting "mnetters" now and then, but I'm not really a 
Grexer so I don't count.)  No, if you lose, it will be because of you, 
period.  Now go eat a sack of shitdicks.

Grexers are generally open to other people.  However, we do hold a grudge
pretty well, which is why Jamie feels like we're against him.

Jamie, I harbor no hatred toward MNet.  Do you know where my attacks came
from?  It was a combination of info others have posted here and your negative
responses.  Add to that your vague description of how you will benefit Grex.
You cite Arbor Net/MNet success as the basis for your competence, but I am
not familiar with MNet.  You were asking us to do the work to verify your
success.

Some concrete examples of how you would improve Grex would have been in order.
The only issues you have stated strong opinion on are the user ID methods in
place and the message logs.  I don't believe that changing these policies will
bring in hordes of new users.

Attacking people while here does not improve things for your image.

Truth be told, image usually outweighs ability.

Has M-net told you how much more you'll be expected to pay to 
renew that membership when it expires soon?   :)
Maybe Jamie can tell you how wonderful it is that you'll be paying more.

I paid for my membership today - one year's worth.

Things should be all lined up after I e-mail an image of my ID to the staff
tonight.  A concept I have no problem with.

See you at the polls.

Thank you, Terence, and thank you, Jamie!  :)
I hope Terence will stick around for more than just the upcoming 
election.

Wow, Jamie.  The longer you are here, the more people you attack.

Every time you open your mouth, you show us how stupid you are.  This is not
the way to influence people, I'm telling ya.

I always wonder how long it will take for a troll like you to disappear. 
Given, we have to stop feeding you first, but it's SO MUCH FUN to watch...

BTW, I was considering membership before all this.  You did succeed in making
up my mind.  I suppose the benefit could be compared to virus writers creating
business for antivirus companies.

Gosh, we should just put jp2 on the board by acclamation.  Why 
bother with the election?

I don't need a serious argument against your candidacy.  All I need is the
opportunity to vote for an adequate number of other candidates to fill the
board seats with people I admire.
