FWIW, I also think that cross's willingness to be on the board is
something that should be considered.

Regarding #196; Fair enough.

Regarding #203; I plan on it; the only question is whether I get deployed or
reactivated.  If that happens, then all bets are off.  But honestly, that's
not up to me.  :-)

 re #201:

 Good, if true.  Hold onto that thought, as I've got more to say..

 One of the reasons I really wish you'd shut up about this is that I happen
 to agree with you to a limited extent -- I think Grex has a problem with
 its staff culture and now is the time to start doing something about it.
 I'd like to actually have a serious conversation about this, but you're a
 one-man wrecking crew for your own position -- the way you're going about
 arguing in favor of reform is probably the most effective way to ensure
 that nobody takes the reform position seriously.

I take it seriously regardless of spooked's venting.  I'm sure most others
don't based on their responses, though.  People are fixated on personalities
and individuals rather than coming up with a fair process for future would-be
staff volunteers.  I'm trying to ignore all the psychoanalyzing everyone is
enjoying only because I think everyone is repeating themselves mostly.  Well,
I don't think Mike is repeating himself.  He's like E.F.Hutton.

I've got to agree with Todd here.

Sorry, I like to make myself heard - especially because I know I speak the 
truth.  I will shut up, because as I said I have nothing to gain from 
being on staff.  I was sacrificing myself for the good of Grex, and I hope 
for its sake it wakes up to itself.

Todd, "most others" who do take it seriously may be behaving like me:  trying
to stay out the fray until mic finishes venting.

Now that I have finished venting, does Grex realise that clearly things 
are broken - and, thus, change (for improvement) is necessary?

re #225
Everybody has their threshold.  I don't take it so seriously.  Compared to
all the important things in my life..Grex is right down there with "Make sure
to set the VCR for 24 and Grey's Anatomy" and "vacuum the car"
