Simply Bob, I was elected - of course not for the treasurer - the 
treasurer I only got because no one else would take it. I also 
volunteered to take the responsibilities of Ed (not knowing that they 
only needed a puppet). Well, it had its privileges of course, like 2 
tokens/day for 9 to 5 work (no there was no lunch allowance). 

Well, let us look at the bright side of it. The Islam provider is denied 
his IP privileges at the beginning of Ramadan (thank you). Oops, I 
brought that to myself, the next thing they may remove the menu :-(or who 
supplied the information)-: Does that mean I shall also lose my vanity 
account. Most probably, here goes a $100 before the instatement of the 
tiered access. Well, hopefuly the $25 I had paid for the raffle will be 
there, just to use them in case I cannot afford my unlimited access 
account with ServTech. The next thing I may hear is that I faked the 
raffle withdrawal (moved by Dave Shory, see Dave I got your name right 
this time) and as such do not deserve the packages I won :-(

Want more bright news Bob, you are next in line for board membership :-)

What happened to the democracy and freedom of expression slogans? Will it 
was you last board, it is me this one, but who knows they are turning 
wheels Bob.
