I'm sorry, I thought your previous paragraph sufficiently stated your
point. Shortening a previous post when most readers are following the

misleading--that was not my intention

So a few regions with few members should be able to determine the
winner?
Why are the current regions so important?
Why are regions more important than AIS members?
Although I snipped your paragraph, I thought I addressed your point. You
ignored my points.

subtotals.
