Thank you, and I apologize for the comment I made, even in jest.
I appreciate your forbearance.

Affiliates are able to vote. They have been able to vote for a long
time.
I made it explicit, trying to even the playing field (since many/most
clubs might not know that).
I would appreciate an example of what you think I should have said.
How much history should I have gone into? I thought (obviously
incorrectly)
that the simple statement was enough.
You are correct that the discussion did not make it into the minutes
of the fall 2000 board meeting. The minutes would fill the Bulletin
if that kind of detail were available. And perhaps it should be,
somewhere, but not in the Bulletin.

If any RVP has a question, it should be addressed to me or to Clarence.

Good. If your RVP has a problem (and tells you) let me and Clarence
know.

No. Affiliates are not judges--just members.
Gerry, glad to be airing the issue
