Any candidates would do well to post a brief statement of their ideas
regarding KLUG, and what they would expect to do during their tenure.
I would like to see these statements on our website as well, and not only
in the list archives, but probably on the organize page.

I'm sure Bruce means no bias, and also intended to refer to exclamation
points....

One of the talents required of a good chairman is the ability to delegate; 
I would encourage Mr. Bridleman that (if elected on this platform) he would
do well to so modify the position description of the Nutrimaster so that
this can be implemented cleanly.
