Odd, I was at that meeting, and that was not the impression I had of
Bill's statement.  He stated that the BoD had made its decision and would
not make further statements about it.  It was not in the hands of the
DECUS membership to decide.  I do not recall any admonishment for DECUS
volunteers to stop discussing the issue.  It was not a "lecture", but
merely a reading of a prepared statement, which I had seen either in
notes or mail from the BoD, at least a week earlier.
