My impression is that the board has the capability of making exceptions
to the rules and actually did so for 2 of the 3 people running.
Considering that the one that is being noisy has been very active
at the last couple of SUG meetings and worked with the user group
to attempt to make things better, I think there is more to the story
than is being shown here.

The SUG has a standing history of changing the rules of what it takes
to be a SUG board member.  It was only a couple of years ago that
someone that got elected to the board never took office because of
pressure applied to him.  The problem was that he worked for a different
workstation vendor.  After the election, the board quickly instated
a rule to say that you couldn't work for a workstation vendor and
be a board member.  ;-(  Now you also have to be a SUG member for
two years, etc, etc.

I don't like where this is going.
